Soaked in LSD under a radiant prairie sun
Your cheeks flushed, bronzed and
ruddy from a life of hard drugs
Dancing in the heat beneath the skies
Falling in love, a freshly-strained heart all the time
Exposure lines, nouveau scars on the soul
When the beauty of it breaks you down
bruised knees dig grooves in the soil
and you weep
for the wonder
the pain
the ecstasy of it all.
Spinning faster than this town can contain
Tripping at home
you look out upon the plains
You've got Tom Petty, a journal and pen
And an open expanse of sky
That's all you need at 7 AM
When you're left alone and you're still high
Spiraling out on endless possibilities
lovesick memories and a galaxy full of dreams
A molten ball of plasma
Burning hotter than the sun
Spinning out and out and out
of control, you're
free fallin'
with tha funk soul brotha
"I dig you baby but I gotta keep movin'"
I would give anything for adventure if you would give everything for love.
