Counterclockwise Testo

Bought a pancho and sandals
I threw away my shoes
Brought a toothbrush and a razor
I probably won❝t use
Hit the track, turned my back
on the Headline News
On my way to meet the moon on the bay
Where she❝s risin❝ big and full and blue
Where the gringo boys got their dark sunglasses
And the girls on the beach
are all shakin❝ their fingers
Cause no matter how dark the lenses
They can see that the eyes
and the minds of the boys
are somewhere they ain❝t supposed to be❦.
The breeze is blowin❝ me a new perfume
It❝s givin❝ my heart a little elbow room
And the kids are lightin❝ firecrackers
Boom! Boom! Boom!
No one recalls when the clock on the wall
stopped wavin❝ its hands all day
Maybe it died of loneliness or boredom
Rest in peace, you know it❝s better this way
The breeze is blowin❝ me a new perfume
It❝s givin❝ my heart a little elbow room
And the kids are lightin❝ firecrackers
Boom! Boom! Boom!
And all my friends are laughin❝
at each other❝s lies
And the sea is singin❝ lullabies
And everything❝s slowin❝ down
flowin❝ counterclockwise
Some of the Americans are ugly Americans
But we know we ain❝t all that way
So we nod and we smile
and we wait a little while
Because they never stay anywhere
very long, anyway
The breeze is blowin❝ me a new perfume
It❝s givin❝ my heart a little elbow room
And the kids are lightin❝ firecrackers
Boom! Boom! Boom!
And all my friends are laughin❝
at each other❝s lies
And the sea is singin❝ lullabies
And everything❝s slowin❝ down
flowin❝ counterclockwise❦
