Dandelion

Lyrics for Dandelion

Running through fields of gold Acting young but feeling old Stuck on loop somewhere inside time's race As I watch dandelions break upon your face You know I live to make you laugh But I wanna die when you cry like that Some silly clown You keep hanging around Watch as I pantomime some worn-out act of mine Makeup on my face Blowin' bubbles just to pass the time Singin' songs and makin' rhymes Chewin' chewing gum outside some space station Songs about butterflies, written with friends of mine Some other time Well, how far off is the storm? Watch out for the lightning's warnin' You can count the miles on the clock like a child One, Mississippi Two, Tennessee Three, Georgia, baby Four Five, Oklahoma Six, my sweet Kansas Seven, Colorado One more Just call it nine miles It's gonna take a while To reach our door Here comes rain, here comes the flood Here comes fire and that other stuff Well, how bad is it? And just how bad can it get? Notice the water lines up on the highway signs written in rust Now notice the dandelions, somehow it stays dry despite the rain You know life can be a gamble especially when you ramble Well, bet on yourself this time to make it out alive Just like a dandelion (hmm-mm-mm) You're just like a dandelion (mm-mm-mm)
