VERSE 2 (As VERSE 1)

Watching people scurry by rushing to and fro
Oh this world is such a crazy place it's all about the go go go
Sometimes life can taste so sweet when you slow it down
You start to see the world a little differently
when you turn it upside down

BRIDGE 2 (As BRIDGE 1)

I don't care (care care)
I'm half way there (nowhere)
And I'm just soaking up the magic in the air
