lyrics

Tell the ocean, you can tell the wall
Let your daddy know it, you should tell the law
Send it in a message, paint it on your arm
Drink it with your tea, find your good luck charm.

The Moons not in the sky, it's still a plan
Whales are walking, up on dry land
My head is thick and boney, my brain is small
(Where's the ocean, some rain must fall)
The World is full of wonder, full of play
It's not downside up today

I saw it in a movie, I heard it in a song
A book for colored crayons had the facts but they where wrong
We caught it in La Brea, we painted in a cave
Barney Rubble showed us how we used to behave.

(CHORUS)

Kick it when it stumbles, love it when it falls
There was never any time without some storms or squalls
Cover it with plastic, cover it with clay
You can't hide the crazy 'cause the crazy's here to stay.

(CHORUS)
