Jimmy Jam II Lyrics

I may have fallen over in my chair and spilled cider everywhere,
But the grass is always greener right under your shoe
And if you think you got the timing wrong, stop and just hum along--
The song on the radio goes "do do doo do"
You know you've heard that melody before but now that you've grown,
You still laugh, but for a very different reason

I know I said to not let your life float on by,
But if you grab it by the pants
You'll float too. Float like in dreams that I do
And yes it's going to be a big jump but not in a hole;
With any luck you'll go up and up. And I know you'll have lots of luck.

We're all just really silly goofy kids, opened up all our lids.
I'll drop a penny, you bend down and surprise!
And if you think I'm really tasteless
I think your taste buds are deadened
From too many years of that coffee and beer.
I'm not saying that I know the answers, just saying what I think,
And I think that I know how I want to feel.

I know I said you can't let your life just float by,
But if you grab it by the shirt
You'll float too. Floating in a dream like I want to do.
And yes it's going to be a big jump but you'll clear the hole
And I know that you'll go up and up. And you won't even need luck.
