Talk of the Town
I want to be where the talk of the town Is about last night when the sun went down Yeah And the trees are dancing and the warm wind blows
And the same old time And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry Make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun pops out I'll paint a picture all about The colours I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Maybe it's as strange as it seems mmm mmm
And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream And the feeling I get when I look in a sea That this world is a puzzle Find all the pieces And put it all together Then I rearrange it

I follow it forever Always as strange as it seems mmm mm
Nobody ever told me not to try Not to try Always try
And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry Make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'll paint a picture all about The colours I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough Put it all together Always be as strange as it seems
I said Hooo hoo hohohoohhohooooo
