lyrics

Turn it off
Turn it all off please
I’ve paid the price for tuning in today
Tell me
Tell me if you would
About the man who waited out the hurricane
I’d like to be a turtle
I’d crawl into my trusty shell & I would tell the world to go to hell
Make it stop
Make it all stop please
& listen to the silence for a while
It’s gonna tell me
Tell me what it will
It’s got a way of digging at the pain inside
I’d like to be a rabbit
I’d crawl into my cozy hole & wouldn’t tell the world where I was goin
The radio is screaming out the darkness of the day
& I feel it in my bones that I’m to blame
But for all my guilt and sorrow
What good will it do
To waste away the sweet light of the moon
[V3]
Saddle up
Let’s saddle up & ride
Steady as the rhythm of the plains
& tell me
If you can tell me to my face
Cuz last I checked you didn’t care to match my pace
I’d like to be a bird
I’d fly up to some quiet cloud
& I would tell the world it’s much too loud
