Grand Old World

Standing in the Sun, gazing at a new day 
  Filling in the blanks, just another Monday 
  Waiting for a plane, take me down there under 
  Waiting for the past, waiting for the wonders 

  Take it to the skies, make it to the big cloud 
  Far below the sea, far away the runner 
  Think about the speed, dream about the distance 
  Far out to the East, leave behind all western 

  Cut me a slice of the sky 
  I wanna drown in your downbeat wonders 
  cut me a slice of grand old world 
  while trains and planes goes passing by 

  Standing in the sun, feeling like a flower 
  Looking, from a Jackass in the shadow of the towers 
  Standing in the heat looking at the river 
  Caught between this now and the rhythm of forever 

  Standing in the market gazing at the sundown 
  Curtains falling down, people pull me under 
  Can you hear the wild dog, can you slow the time down 
  Catching up with Gods, lost in all their wonders 

  Cut me a slice of the sky 
  I wanna drown in your downbeat wonders 
  cut me a slice of grand old world 
  while trains and planes goes passing by
