You thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night,

But, when you wake up in the morning, the world still gets you uptight,

Well, there's nothing that you ain't tried

To fill the emptiness inside,

But, when you come back down, you still ain't feeling right.



It seems like kicks just keep getting harder to find,

All your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind,

Before you find out it's too late,

You'd better get straight,

But, not with kicks, you just need help now.



You think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise,

But, it ain't happened yet, so now you'd better think twice,

Don't you see, no matter what you do,

You'll never run away from you

If you keep on running, you'll have to pay the price.



Don't it seem like, kicks just keep getting harder to find,

All your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind,

Before you find out it's too late,

You'd better get straight,

But, not with kicks.



To help you face the world each day,

That road goes nowhere,

I'm gonna help you find yourself another way.



Kicks just keep getting harder to find

You don't need kicks, now,

And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind

You just need help, now,

Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight

You'd better, you'd better, you'd better.



Kicks just keep getting harder to find

You don't need kicks, now,

And all your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind

You just need help, now,

Before you find out it's too late, you'd better get straight

You'd better, you'd better, you'd better.



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, you'd better get straight



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, you'd better get straight
