Some People Ride the Wave

Some people ride the wave of generosity

Some people ride the wave of mediocrity

Me, I ride the wave of never gonna drown

Oh, just fooling around

Now I gots the balloons

And you, you gots the mud

And me I gots the snail

And you, you gots the stuff

Well you got so much more than I figured was in store

Oh, I ain't foolin no more

Now some people ride the cat when asleep or when awake

Some people ride a cat for riding a cat's sake

Me I ride this cat 'cause its claws have got my eyes

I'll get 'em back in a few more tries

Oh, I'll get 'em back in a few more tries

Some people write the books that tenderize their names

Some people write the books that bastardize our claims

Me, I write the book that's sifting in the sand

Aw, some day I'll understand

Aw, some day I'll understand

Some people write the songs that stay inside our souls

Some people write the songs that really ain't songs at all

Me, I write the song that ends right when it starts

They'll split before they part

Oh, they'll split before they part
