I drove a car from new york city
all the way to new orleans
I was watching at the window
but I don't know what it means

The world is full of contradictions
I nearly quit to reconcile
But when I'm thirsty I drink water
And when I'm hungry I have lunch

and I like the pop songs on the radio
though they rarely make much sense
and I like cream and I like sugar in my coffee and my tea
If you know what I mean

Now all my friends are getting sober
You might say downright a-serious

You know they're making themselves better
A-making themselves better just for what?

And I like the pop songs on the radio
Especially when they've got three chords - this one's got four
And I like cream and I like sugar in my coffee and my tea
If you know what I mean

So won't you please lift off your burden
Of searching for significance
And if you're thirsty, drink some water
And if you love me, live with me

a-when I'm thirsty I drink water
a-when I'm thirsty I drink water
a-when I'm thirsty I drink water
a-when I'm thirsty I drink water

Ok, how were the levels then?
