Oh won't you take my place Set sail and join the race You will sometimes pay to run The pain is worth the fun Oh way to go, son Aim for the sun You'll document your fall With flowers and alcohol But the ones they push around Don't know where they belong They'll promise the sun, boy Always the sun Down here on the strand I'll be crawling in the sand A mannequin on the run You promised the sun, Lord Always the sun Tomorrow you will fly Take off to the sky And the ones they hired to shoot Will tamper with your parachute Oh way to go, son Aim for the sun Here we go again You'll be drowning in the rain Trade your brain cells for a crown And walk in the sun, boy Aim for the sun They'll promise the sun, boy Always the sun Oh way to go, son Aim for the sun Here we go again You'll be drowning in the rain Down here on the strand I'll be crawling in the sand A mannequin on the run You promised the sun, Lord Always the sun You promised the sun, Lord Always the sun
