Lyrics

A Boy Named Andrew

[Chorus]

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

[Verse 1]

Another day in the morning

I always wanted to bleed like you, so I cut myself 'til I'm feeling red

I hear voices calling me

I always wanted to be like you, but I'm losing faith and I'm feeling dead

[Pre-Chorus]

The wheels of time, they keep on turning

We're still learning to fly

Come on

[Chorus]

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

[Verse 2]

Another day in the evening

I'm driving home in the black of night, my one eye's blind and it's pouring rain

What the hell is wrong with me?

I always wanted to be like you, but I'm getting fat and I'm losing hair

[Pre-Chorus]

Time keeps on turnin'

We're still learnin' to fly

Come on

[Chorus]

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Turning

I always wanted a freak like you 'til I got you home inside my bed

Something's got a hold on me, yes

'Cause every time I close my eyes, I see the face of the livin' dead

[Chorus]

The wheels of time, they keep on turnin'

We're still learnin' to fly

[Chorus]

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da

La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da

La-dee-da-la-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da
