mary joanna & the music

she's a wildflower child

with dreams just like a style

she floats on through the sound waves

and plays in them a while

like a million tripping daisies

just dancing oh so lazy

soaking up the sunshine

celebrating with the crazies

'cause when its high tide

why do you get to feeling so low oh oh no?

'cause when its lo-ow tide

that's when you let your feelings show

yeah-yo yeah-yo

so mary joanna put the music ahead

of all those things in your life that you dread

'cause i know you wanta just play in the sand

making castles to the beat of tha band

now this i know

you blossomed on a sunny day

you didn't have nothing good to light up you way

you put it down

that stone cold taxman's face

and if you wanna put a smile on everyone's face

for the love of the music

i searched around my head

even looked under my bed

where the roaches and the dust mites laid

found a dirty shirt instead

but you know the coolest thing

is that you don't stink

you stay clean for the love of the music in your brain

but you can't just keep it

i like the way

and i like you for yourself to play

gotta let them notes just

bang

bang

bang

now this i know

you blossomed on a sunny day

you didn't have

nothing good to light up your way

so won't you all

don't take her too seriously

because she can't do this that logically

for the love of the music

who-o-oa
