The World At Large

Lyrics

Ice age heat wave, can't complain
 If the world's at large, why should I remain?
 Walked away to another planet
 Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
 I move on to another day
 To a whole new town with a whole new way
 Went to the porch to have a thought
 Got to the door and again I couldn't stop
 You don't know where and you don't know when
 But you've still got your words and you've got your friends
 Walk along to another day
 Work a little harder, work another way
 Well, uh, uh, baby, I ain't got no plan
 Well, I float on, maybe would you understand?
 Gonna float on, maybe would you understand?
 Well, I float on, maybe would you understand?
 ♪
 The days get shorter and the nights get cold
 I like the autumn, but this place is getting old
 I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
 It might not be a lot, but I feel like I'm making the most
 The days get longer and the nights smell green
 I guess it's not surprising, but it's spring and I should leave
 ♪
 I like songs about drifters, books about the same
 They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
 Walked on off to another spot
 I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
 Did I want love? Did I need to know?
 Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
 ♪
 Moths beat themselves to death against the lights
 Adding their breeze to the summer nights
 Outside, water, like air was gray
 I didn't know what I had that day
 Walk a little further to another planet
 You said that you did, but you didn't understand
 ♪
 I know that starting over's not what life's about
 But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth
 My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth
 My thoughts were so loud
