I remember that house boat by the pool 'Yellow Brick Road' on the jukebox, that was cool Now the sunburn stings and I feel like I was a kid But I was a fool Cause it all had strings attached Right down to the myth they sold us in school
Everything orange and yellow Back then we went down the canal by ourselves Thought we had our own grip on life But like the rope or the bell We were already building a world for someone else Yeah, we were already drinking the dreams of someone else
You weave the rope you're now pulling out I keep thinking how can I just see it now We've been riding that white wave of sound In every innocuous spot on the dial In every transmission of some actor's smile We willingly rode the white wave down We rode the white wave down
Wake up one morning It's not fine But you can sign at the line Don't wanna be another radio tower in time But you can resign if you like
You weave the rope you're now pulling out I keep thinking how can I just see it now We've been riding that white wave of sound In every innocuous spot on the dial In every transmission of some actor's smile We willingly rode the white wave down We rode the white wave down We rode the white wave down Oh, we rode the white wave down
