Fly Away - Joelistics

I used to brush it off like it didn’t matter

Dark clouds in the sky brother, let 'em gather

Now it’s all cuts a little deeper and has an effect

Similar to what it is when glass shatters

So we drive like Kerouac use to do

Smoking cigarettes, eating up junk food

With both windows down and the stereo up

We lift a coffee cut in the sun

Leave behind the skyline

Full of terracotta rooftops in a shitbox town

Living in us too long

All these suburbs sing their own proverbs

And hold a million heart breaks in between the commerce

And I can see it all for miles around

I’m getting dizzy from the sight and sound

At the top of the hill we stop and we chill

Then boost, take time to get your head out the noose

You can let a good thing go by

It might not happen again

We can go where ever we like

Sunshine on the window, yeah

I said let’s get in the car

Maybe we could drive for days

Nothing was built to last

Get loose and fly away

I used to waste time like I’d live forever

Always on the hunt to find something better

Now it all shakes me up and I’m breathless

It has an effect similar to something like an earth tremor

The car’s outside and the tank is full

And to take time off is impractical

But we leave on a whim to do the damn thing

Freedom in the air and the wind sings songs

Of a generation passed and present, the car is headed

Along the coastline inland, up through the desert

And we savour all the sights and the sound and moods

And even eat the meat pies and the road house food

And you can see what’s up in rear view

Get pumped up by the look of a clear view

Out across the vista, kiss the stars in the night

Brother, what a beautiful sight

I used to place bets of my sanity

Caught up in between the dream an the art and the parody

Tryna figure out if it was meant to be

For me to work and breed, buy a house and get married in it

Just to be like they are on TV

But those dreams never really seemed to fit

And I’ve been jugglin' and jigglin' every day that I live

And there’s things that I just can’t fix

You were always telling me to take better care with it

Don’t rush a good thing or get scared of it

Disconnect your telephone for a couple of days

And hit the highway to watch the scenery change

Responsibility it ain’t nothing to fun from

Some wrongs are right, some rights become wrong

And every now and then when reality slip

I take five and get away for a bit
