Down by the bay a man made of clay Dips his toe into the ocean, trying to wash himself away He jumps into the pond and he start to dissolve And he dreams about the streams that bleed into the amazon If you are a boulder that nevers leaves the shore You'll get ground up into sand and tracked onto the floor Swept into a pile on someone's kitchen These hurricanes have led my heart astray But maybe if i try my hardest I'll finally chase the rainclouds away I heard on the news that they keep finding shoes On the stores of Ecuador and no one knows what they should do They tried to givr them away but its more everyday Ballet shoes in shades of blue and rubber boots and mary janes If you have to get away, dont take a pleasure cruise Cause you might get swept away (and you'll lose your shoes) They'll end up in a pile on some foreign isle These hurricanes have led my heart astray But maybe if i try my hardest I'll finnaly chase the rainclouds away In a couple years, the land will disappear under the ocean When the day is here I'll pack a bathing suit and a tanning lotion I'll let this waves take me away Away
