    I switched the time zone, but what do I know?
    Spending nights hitchhikin', where will I go?
    I could fly home with my eyes closed
    But it get kinda hard to see, that's no surprise though
    And you could find me, I ain't hiding
    I don't move my feet when I be gliding
    I just slide in and then I roll out

    Yeah, well, climbing over that wall
    I remember, yes, I remember, yes, I remember it all
    Swear the height be too tall so like September I fall (down, down)
    Down below, now I know that the medicine be on call, yeah
