[Eb]If you wait, it won't be undone
[Bb]Well, it's all just scared of dying
[Eb]But isn't this a beach?
[Bb]And if I know one thing at all
[Eb]Is I cannot just be a peach
[Bb]Oh, you come in all woke now
[Eb]So, please enjoy the feast
[Bb]We are weightless like a wayless beast
[Eb]So what is it we don't teach?
[Bb]When we were children we were hell-bent
[Eb]Or oblivious at least
[Bb]But now it comes to mind
[Bb]We are terrified
[Bb]So we run and hide
[Eb]For a verified little peace
[Bb]So what of this release?
[Eb]Sun light feels good now, don't it?
[Bb]And I don't have a leaving plan
[Eb]But something's gotta [Bb]ease your mind
[Eb]But it's all fine, or it's all crime anyway
[Bb]There were six of us sitting creek side
Sifting fistfuls through the green
[Eb]Every which way could be seen

[Bb]Not a pantomime
[Eb]More like anodyne
[Bb]Was a friend of mine
[Eb]You'da known, you'da known
[Bb]I could prophet
