Lopez On The Runway - Dead Leaves In The Clouds lyrics

rate me

“Dead Leaves in the Clouds”

So we set sail

For California

No worries now

Frequent flier miles

Too much of a hassle

Dead leaves in the clouds

We sold our clothes to the bureaucrats

They were naked in the truth

We were as clothed as they come and we yelled

‘I wish, I wish I had never met you at all

I wish, I wish you weren’t so predicatable’

We sold our hair to the ladies everywhere

They were jealous of our beauty

We were jealous of their valor, they yelled

‘We don’t care about your curly locks

We just care about our cancer’

I said I know who I am to where I’m going to

But you saw right through the masquerade

All painted white to conceal my face at night

As I crept through the orchard to appeal to the magistrate

I think I do

We sold our eyes to the state

We were tired of people shouting

People screamin, they were yellin’

‘We don’t care about your pinstriped suits

We just care about our taxes’

We sold our heart to the country with no name

A reputation preceding,

Unwanted fame and they yelled

‘I wish, I wish I had never met you at all

I wish, I wish you weren’t so predicatable’

I said I know who I am to where I’m going to

But you saw right through the masquerade

All painted white to conceal my face at night

As I crept through the orchard to appeal to the magistrate

I think I do
