Eight Owl City

You know Eight Owl City,

                                           -ain’t where I’m from?

 

You know the past isn’t pretty,

                                                -why are you dwelling there son?

 

You know every thought’s a lifetime,

                                                           -of hands wringing, hands wrung?

 

Forget the past, see the future now,

                                                        -Dip-dap-a-looma lung.

 

Dip-dap-a-looma lung,

A dip-dap-a-looma lung,

Dip-dap-a-looma lung,

A dip-dap-a-looma lung,

 

Storm on the horizon,

                                   -thunder in the air,

 

Crack-O-lightning split the skies now,

                                                             -ignore the clouds their always there…

 

You know Eight Owl City,

                                         -is just a place to hide your mind?

 

Life is hard, it ain’t pretty,

                                          -lost in a place out of time.

 

Get out your head or you’ll eat yourself,

                                                                 -consumed by paranoia, -rage!

 

Forget the past; see your future now,

                                                            -all you do in life is age.

 

Dip-dap-a-looma lung,

Hands wringing, hands wrung,

A dip-dap-a-looma lung,

Hear me now as it’s sung,

Dip-dap-a-looma lung,

A dip-dap-a-looma lung,

 

Dip-dap-a-looma lung,

A dip-dap-a-looma lung,

Dip-dap-a-looma lung,

A dip-dap-a-looma lung,
