The slap of the paper
|
The hiss of the sprinkler
|
The beep of the coffee machine
|
The drone in the distance
|
That says there's a freeway
|
The gardeners will soon make the scene
|
'Cause it's thursday
|
Soon they'll arrive on the scene
|
|
I pick up the paper
|
I'm spritzed by the sprinkler
|
Inside I take in my caffeine
|
Then I hear the dog door
|
I know he's gone out there
|
To mark and to mess up the scene
|
They're illegal
|
But soon they'll arrive on the scene
|
Our leader's an actor who speaks with an accent
|
Who's able to procure our love
|
But life is a movie
|
Out here in the valley
|
What else were we all thinking of?
|
|
The clack of the skateboard resounds in the valley
|
Next door the kid's starting a band
|
Their morning rehearsal is making me crazy
|
The volume is way out of hand
|
It's not music
|
To my music it's way out of hand
|
|
Our leader's an actor who speaks with an accent
|
Who's able to procure our love
|
But life is a movie
|
Out here in the valley
|
What else were we all thinking of?
|
|
The slap of the paper
|
The hiss of the sprinkler
|
The beep of the coffee machine
|
The drone in the distance
|
That says there's a freeway
|
The gardeners will soon make the scene
|
'Cause it's thursday
|
Soon they'll arrive on the scene
|
