"day trip {clocks}" lyrics

Grey clocks, memories so vivid
I wish I could trace thoughts
I wish I could go back to the nights
I was lost in the sky with the moon
And the sun and the stars
I wish I could go back in time
Just to watch

Anytime I jot, pen touched by the gods
And I've grown indifferent to the critics
But applause still hit a chord with me
When I'm sittin in the fog (sittin in the...)
Silently waltz, life in slow-motion
Then grind to a halt, wait
Might take a long break
When it's not for me, do it for mom's sake

Bible I'm pickin up psalms
My grandma told me "Try to do it in God's name"
Go state to state
Bow my head quietly, saying my grace
And while I'm alive I'm just givin my thanks
I know that this life doesn't come with a manual
Some people don't understand what's at stake
And won't understand either way
The coin flip in my hand
You would think I'm a mage

Count up
It sounds like I'm flippin through pages
Tell shorty light up the incense and sages
Time for a ceremony for the ages

Let's take a day trip
Let's take a, let's take a
Let's take a day trip
Baby let's go on a day trip

Let's take a day trip
Let's take a, let's take a
Let's take a day trip
Baby let's go on a day trip

Sunset somewhere exotic, private location
Chillin' with a goddess, VHS-tape it
Crispy calamari, truffle fries I can't shake this
Gotta stay grounded, 'cause I'm the type to make shit happen
Captain
One to keep the spaceship blasting
Off to a foreign constellation
Trapped in cosmic concentration
Know my mama pray I make it home safely
Write my name in stone
'Cause this is greatness you're witnessing
Keep the lazer honed, keep it engaged

Count up
It sounds like I'm flippin through pages
Tell shorty light up the incense and sages
Time for a ceremony for the ages

Let's take a day trip
Let's take a, let's take a
Let's take a day trip
Baby let's go on a day trip

Let's take a day trip
Let's take a, let's take a
Let's take a day trip
Baby let's go on a day trip
