Counting Stars

It's funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

It's funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

Like a movie that you can't predict

Like a book that you can't resist

I sing along a song that's oh so sensual

Bring along a sip to make it all so ***ual

Verbally that is making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night

With the whole city fast asleep out cold

True words seem to rise to the lips take hold

Of a poet in me most powerfully

I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me

It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing

Trying to find a reason to work god willing

I admit my thinking is wishful

Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling

How far do we have to stretch the truth

To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue?

We can take it all back to the register

And start all over from the canister

Let's break it all down into pieces of bright

Moments that pass by like a meteorite

Throw on your favorite reel that's good to go

On the analog player watch the people glow

Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow

Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows

It's funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

It's funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

Like your moves that I can't predict

Like your look that I can't resist

The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual

The lingering appeal was so unusual

Herbally what is medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some

With the whole body fast asleep out cold

True vision seem to come to the eye take hold

Of a prophet in me most visibly

I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me

It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing

Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing

I admit our dealing is painful

Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling

How far do we have to stretch the picture

Before pixelating the human texture?

We can take it all back to the register

And start all over from the canister

Let's save it all up for an ultimate prize

Homecoming gathering with a big surprise

Throw on your favorite record that's good to go

On the analog table and it's hooked to blow

Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow

Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows

It's funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are

It's funny how the music put times in perspective

Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it

Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far

Wherever you are
