Got down on the Sunnyside, 
I was in a movie where I defied all space and time.
Doing what I could to get your attention, 
Playing dead on the floor and you're hardly acting 
But it's nothing new.
I spend every weekend dreaming 
And taking lessons from the tried and true.

I don't remember how I got home last night 
Or how I'm here today 
I'm stuck like a boat, frozen in a lake 
In a Michigan winter where the waves are late 
And I'm hoping for you.

I've known a lot of tightrope walkers 
Who mingle with the coattail riders 
And they say they do it for the view 
And I think that they all know better than me.
Yeah, I think they all know better than me.
