Lyrics

Ambition

I just dropped by to see you

‘Cause I'm on my way

In your bedroom

Just on the highway

Came in through your window

I think I'd throw your ribbons on the way

I never use doors no mores

I never use stairs just trees

And I hear their voices

Breaking up from down below

The toe

I just dropped by to see you

Cause I'm on my way

In your bedroom

Just on the highway

Say, are you still tight with that pharmacist

Well I've got to get there

Now don't I

And when I get there

I've got to sleep well

Now don't I

And when I wake up in the morning

Gotta wake up in the morning

Now don't I

When I meet with them

Gotta be on the ball

Now don't I

When I do their dirt

I've get to feel numb

Now don't I

When it's all said and done I

I just got to celebrate

Now don't I

When I'm done celebrating I

I just have to unwind

Now don't I

Just dropped by to see you

‘Cause I'm on my way

In your bedroom

Just on the highway
