I sit alone with my head full of ideas I can't get them out, scream and shout Days whistle by now, see how they fly now My, my, my, they just roll by I can't seem to smell the flowers, can't see the trees Chasing the tail of the world, just trying to please I walk around with my feet on the ground, but Sometimes I miss a step, I hate missing anything Cover my tracks and the ones I have not made yet It's such a shame, and I am to blame I can't seem to smell the flowers, can't see the trees Chasing the tail of the world, just trying to please But if I search you out, then for a moment I fly away, I fly away Glimpses of everything in it's right place What a day, please, please stay I can't seem to smell the flowers, can't see the trees Chasing the tail of the world, just trying to please I can't seem to smell the flowers, can't see the trees Chasing the tail of the world, just trying to please
