A Visit From Barry Lyrics by The Residents

Leftovers Again?

0

Oh ho ho ho
Miles up above you are floating in the sky
You see the pretty pictures but you don't know why
Miles up above there is laughter in the air
Children bursting with the visions of an endless county fair
Miles up above there is nature all around
There is singing songs of motion while the trees enjoy the ground
Miles up above there is nature throwing fire
From the endless cloudless wonders to the cities down on mars
You don't have to worry
You don't havе to worry
Cause your mind is in no hurry
To divulge the common flurry
Do your own skin dancе
Miles up above you see visions of the past
Floating down like restless winters in your bathroom glass
Miles up above you can reason with the past
You can even find a hard day and make it last
Miles up above you run naked in the sun
Cause the city father lets you, he's not there to spoil your fun
Miles up above they can even take your car
Cause there's still a million wonders in your own backyard
You don't have to worry
You don't have to worry
Cause your mind is in no hurry
To divulge the common flurry
Do your own skin dance
Miles up above they won't let you sing the blues
But they tell you you can worship anything you choose
Miles up above the concoctions of your mind
Will devour all the kindness that you left behind
You don't have to worry
You don't have to worry
Cause your mind is in no hurry
To divulge the common flurry
Do your own skin dance
(Instrumental outro)
