Lyrics

Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout
Cause I know that you're the

Best thing in town
Best thing around
Best thing in town
Best thing around

Running wild and always running free
Doing things that I have never seen
Eerie colors and all I see are sounds
Now I know that you're the

(Chorus)

I'm seeing faces
Of mysterys of the earth
I am not one
To the aggersions of my birth
Or go to stance
Of solutions I can't find
A missing peice
Of a thought thats in my mind

(Verse 1)
(Chorus)
