Lyrics
The world I know will change on me
Falling from the branches of a dying tree
Looking over my shoulder, now my grace has flown
And I feel unsteady just like a slide trombone
The sunset gathers at the close of the day
It’s a beautiful ambush then it slips away
Trying to see the light, staring into the sun
Like making model airplanes just to smash ‘em when you’re done
Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down
Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down
Running underground, I never could take flight
But I still get caught in my dreams at night
If i could pull down a cloud, I’d climb inside
Settle down into nothing, feel OK for a while
Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down
Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down
The world I know will change on me
Falling from the branches of a dying tree
Now I’m falling from a star as it fades to black
Dreaming of the highway inside a cul-de-sac
Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down
Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down
