Those butterflies fly by in the February sky
Take wing and run rings, once run wings tire
Try another dimensions for tension prevention
Drop guard and close eyes, feel your terror subside
We touch sides at some point, stop hogging that joint
The breeze flows free on my tan, nature's extractor fan
Keeps us below the radar and out of the back of SAP cars
That charge past, sirens flailing limply as the heat blasts

We like to chill and get grilled in the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
That's where our fears are erased
Come work it out, mess about, to discount daily grind
'Cause when the hours turn to days you need the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
Make your escape from the race
Come leave it all behind

Lapping our heavenly ground with waves of bristling sound
Come the hazard-sign bees as they bustle around
Humming humdrum anthems for harmonious hearts
The flowers entice them with their parts
Such botanical tarts
Every city needs these places
Tranquil lungs, green saving graces
A sheltering gap in between the scales of the beast
Too high up on its back for industrial claws to reach

We like to chill and get grilled in the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
That's where our fears are erased
Come work it out, mess about, to discount daily grind
'Cause when the hours turn to days you need the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
Make your escape from the race
Come leave it all behind

And I try to find the space
And I try to find the space to breath...

So to escape the rat race with mecurial grace
You've got to pull the middle finger on life's blistering pace
Stop chasing your tail, take a break from the trail
It's a salve to your youth more powerful than the grail
Now as the sun summits it's zenith
My eyelids slide together
Heart light as a feather, floats high on simple pleasures
Take a break but leave the Kitkat, it's just going to make you fat
Kick your worries in the face, find a big wide open space

We like to chill and get grilled in the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
That's where our fears are erased
Come work it out, mess about, to discount daily grind
'Cause when the hours turn to days you need the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
Make your escape from the race
Come leave it all behind
We like to chill and get grilled in the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
That's where our fears are erased
Come work it out, mess about, to discount daily grind
'Cause when the hours turn to days you need the
Blue skied, sun dried, big wide open space
Make your escape from the race
Come leave it all behind
