taylor

jack johnson

they say taylor was a good girl

never one to be late

complain

express ideas in her brain. working on the night shift

passing out the tickets. you're gonna have to pay her

if you wanna park here. well

mommy's little dancer

has quite a little secret

working on the streets now

never gonna keep it. it's quite an imposition. and now she's only wishin'

that she would have listened

to the words they said. poor taylor. she just wanders around

unaffected by the winter winds

yeah. and she'll pretend that

well

she's somewhere else. so far and clear

about 2'000 miles from here. well

peter patrick pitter-patters on the window

but sunny silhouette won't let him in. and poor old pete's got nothing

'cause he's been fallin'

and somehow sunny knows just where he's been. he thinks that singin' on a sunday gonna save his soul

now that saturday's gone. but sometimes he thinks that he's on his way

but i can see that his brake lights are on. and he just wanders around

unaffected by the winter winds

yeah. and he'll pretend that

well

he's somewhere else. so far and clear

about 2'000 miles from here. such a tough enchilada

filled up with nada. givin' what you gotta give

to get a dollar bill. used to be a limber chick and

time has been a-tickin'. now she's finger-licking

to the man

with the money in his pocket

flying in his rocket

only stopping by on his way to a better world. if taylor finds a better world

taylor's gonna run away.
