Just got back today and
I'm searching round the place
Looking for you-know-who
But there's no sign yet

Singing, auto-pilot days
Shining, ultra-violet rays
On this dusty skeleton
I feel akin on a cosmic level

I can see right through ya
Yeah I can read your bones
Just like a telephone book
Maybe I should, give it up, begin again

I am exercising how good it feels to be alit
And no surprises up my sleeve
Everything is temporary

Ooh, praying mantis on my door
Looking for meaning or just any sign at all
Ooh, organising all my thoughts, making then
Rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time

Gimme midnight love again
Feeling somewhat alien
I'm floating aimless
But got my feet concreted

Beneath this creature of habit
Teach me the magic of an extra ordinary day
Anodyne the time away

And there's no such thing as a
Perfect melody but I keep searching every
Morning in the trees

Ooh, praying mantis on my door
Looking for meaning or just any sign at all
Ooh, organising all my thoughts, making then
Rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time

I got my head sorted sort of, I keep
Going, just because yeah just because
I got my head sorted sort of, I keep
Going, just because yeah just because
