INTRO: :02
The human race's winners
are stable and stiff.
I'd rather take a crooked river
and stay adrift.   :15
V1 :17
Taught a life of much redundance, 
fought it from the very start.
In a world of such abundance, 
I couldn't control my hurtin' heart.   :31
Ch1 :32
Can't embrace the same-ole same-ole,
something has always gotta' change.
Cages chase me grave to cradle,
stunting my heart and numbin' my brain.   :46
V2 :47
Simple jobs are drivin' me crazy,
nuthin' new, a different day.
Gettin' robbed of somethin' to take me
outta' the noose and far away.   1:01
Ch2 1:02
Gotta' break the same-ole same-ole,
chasin' a dream beyond the din.
Gotta' shake and turn the table,
freein' a slave from deep within.   1:16
V3 1:17
Rosy path is not so perfect,
hidden thorns I cannot see.
Good and bad combined on purpose,
keepin' me dancin' on my feet.   1:31
BREAK: (:31)
Br 2:02
The universe is crazy commotion,
starry skies rearrange.
I wanna savor every moment,
be a part of a different day.   2:16
OUTRO: 2:17
I'm a slave to some repetition,
tired of facin' the same ole scene.
Gotta' shake this dreaded prison,
find an escape from life's routine.   2:31

V1 :18
Get off your feet,
live in the beat.
Feel it inside,
give it a ride.
Flow into notes,
get amplified.
Just let go,
let rapture rise. :34
V2 :35
Driven to stars
fantasy holds.
Off of the chart:
my heart exposed. :44
Ch :45
Zooming through the stratosphere,
a tune ascends me out of here.
Soon I sit in weightlessness
and nothingness is very clear. 1:01
1:02 Weightlessness is my escape
into a playground far away.
Run and swing, I do my thing,
weightlessness: a child at play. 1:19
V3 1:20
Livin' is hard.
Given a part,
diggin' a hole.
Ditchin' a soul. 1:35
V4 1:37
Need to depart,
reach for a star.
Prison escape:
freedom awaits. 1:45
V5 1:46
Gotta' release...
possible dreams.
Magic is made,
as gravity breaks. 1:54
Ch 1:56
Zooming through the stratosphere,
a tune ascends me out of here.
Soon I sit in weightlessness
and nothingness is very clear. 2:12
2:13 Weightlessness is my escape
into a playground far away.
Run and swing, I do my thing,
weightlessness: a child at play. 2:30
V6 2:31
Open the door,
time to explore.
Head in a cloud,
letting it out. 2:45
V7 2:49
Prisoner free,
livin' in key.
Dreams of a band
play in the sand. 2:56
V8 2:57
Child of hope,
piloting notes.
Weightlessness
is innocence. 3:05
Br 3:07
Forage through the dark
to a resurrection:
soar so far away,
to a new dimension. 3:24
BREAK: (:38)
Interlude: 3:52
Brain's on a vacation,
bathing in weightlessness. 4:01
OUTRO: 4:04
Let it go,
and grab a dream.
Lose distress
and convalesce.
Music flows
in weightlessness. 4:17
