This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Let me tell you a story
It's not all it's cracked up to be
About a U.F.O. in a dream
I only hear my own voices
Don't have many choices
Like a dog in a parking lot
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
Completely covered in blankets
Don't really know what to wish for
And just look at the sky and be thankful
Feels like my back might be bleeding
And are my hands really here
Look back at the ground and be hopeful
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
I'm as liquid as the sea
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
It's a place for you and me
I'm as liquid as the sea
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
Let me tell you a story
It's not all it's cracked up to be
I've got U.F.O.s in my dreams
It's not all it's cracked up to be
About a U.F.O. in a dream
I only hear my own voices
Don't have many choices
Like a dog in a parking lot
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
Completely covered in blankets
Don't really know what to wish for
And just look at the sky and be thankful
Feels like my back might be bleeding
And are my hands really here
Look back at the ground and be hopeful
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
I'm as liquid as the sea
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
It's a place for you and me
I'm as liquid as the sea
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
Let me tell you a story
It's not all it's cracked up to be
I've got U.F.O.s in my dreams
