Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Take it easy, walk with a light step, baby
Catch a breezy, live amongst the lifeforms in your day
Marinate a good piece of beef
Understand the mind of a leaf
Swim around 'til the fish float out of the socket in your skull
Dive deeper, corner of a fungus in your brain
Take it easy, I wanna live my life in vain
The more you chew things, I leave 'em to rot
Woke up with a nose full of snot
Baked a muffin, the tops burned and I had to throw them away
Up this morning, daylight's sooner than I thought
The sun was shining, plucked a flower from a stalk
Smelt good and it made me smile, so
Took a run about a quarter of a mile
Felt my lungs fail, so I got myself back home
Take it easy, walk with a light step, baby
Catch a breezy, live amongst the lifeforms in your day
Marinate a good piece of beef
Understand the mind of a leaf
Swim around 'til the fish float out of the socket in your skull
