Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I could never understand the wind at all

Was like a ball of love

I could never, never see the cosmic sea

Was like a bumblebee

[Verse 2]

And when I'm sad, I slide

[Verse 3]

I have never, never kissed a car before

It's like a door

I have always, always grown my own before

All schools are strange

[Verse 4]

And when I'm sad, I slide

Oh, slide

[Verse 5]

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

[Verse 6]

And when I'm sad, I slide

[Verse 7]

I have never, never nailed a nose before

That's how the garden grows

I could never understand the wind at all

Was like a ball of love

[Verse 8]

And when I'm sad, I slide

[Verse 9]

Watch now

I'm gonna slide
