It's Not the Way

Times a-wastin', I'm mechanically alone (mm-mm-mm)
Life is teeming with signs that I'm on my own (mm-mm-mm)
With a wanderer my heart has built a home (mm-mm-mm-mm)
Strayin' through the vines, I remain overgrown (ooh-ooh)
Sand is slippin' through the eye upon the glass (ooh-ooh)
Vision dippin', watchin' seeds turn into grass (ooh-ooh)
Hanging in tight because these feelings still will pass (ooh-ooh)
But cannot wait because I was not built to last

It's not the way to rock my boat (ooh-whoa-oh)
It took too long to help these trees learn how to float (ooh-whoa-oh)
And if I stay too long, I feel we'll all turn into stone (ooh-woah-oh)
Scent of the sand and the brave unknown (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Mind is dripping underneath the water shown (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Subdivided seem much deeper than is known (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the darkness, light is spinnin' through the cone (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
We'll find our way, sinkin' through time we will atone (aah-aah)
Waves are fallin' down I cannot hear the crash (aah-aah)
Sinkin' faster as the water starts to thrash (aah-aah)
Don't have much longer, water's drippin' on the dash
Rise up higher, gifted visions seem to flash

It's not the way to rock my boat (ooh-whoa-oh)
It took too long to help these trees learn how to float (ooh-whoa-oh)
And if I stay too long, I feel we'll all turn into stone (ooh-whoa-oh)
Scent of the sand and the brave unknown
Scent of the sand and the brave unknown

And it's much cooler (much cooler) way down (way down)
At the bottom of the sea, nobody could foresee
That it'd be cooler (much cooler) way down (way down)
At the bottom of the sea, amidst the vast debris
And it's much cooler (much cooler) way down (way down)
At the bottom of the sea, nobody could foresee
That it'd be cooler (much cooler) way down (way down)
At the bottom of the sea, amidst the vast debris (mm-mm-mm)

And times a-wastin', I'm mechanically alone (mm-mm-mm)
Life is teeming with signs that I'm on my own
And if I stay too long I feel we'll all turn into stone
Scent of the sand and the brave unknown (and it's much cooler)
Scent of the sand and the brave unknown (and it's much cooler)
Scent of the sand and the brave unknown
