on that magic carpet ride last night
  When you wake up in the morning
     the world still gets you uptight
  There's nothing that you ain't tried
     to fill the emptiness inside
  But when you come back down girl,
     you still ain't feeling right

  You think you're going to find yourself
     a little bit of paradise
  Well it ain't happened yet
     so girl you better think twice
  Can't you see no matter what you do,
     you'll never run away from you
  And if you keep on running,
     you'll still have the pay the price

  Don't you know that
     kicks just keep getting harder to find
  And all your kicks
     ain't bringing you peace of mind
  Before you find out it's too late girl,
     you better get straight
  Nobody told me (kicks)

  No, you don't need to help
  You face the world each day
  That road goes nowhere
  I going to help you find yourself another way
