It’s Hard to Get Around the Wind
[Verse 1]
It's like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry
And the queue was shorter than you thought it'd be
And the doorman says, "You need to get a wristband"
You've got to live between the pitfalls
But you're looking like you're low on energy
Did you get out and walk to ensure you'd miss the quicksand?

[Chorus]
Looking for a new place to begin
Feeling like it's hard to understand
But as long as you still keep peppering the pill
You'll find a way to spit it out again
And even when you know the way it's gonna blow
It's hard to get around the wind

[Verse 2]
Stretching out the neck on your evening
Trying to even out some deficit
But it's sabre-tooth multi-ball confusion
And you can shriek until you're hollow
Or whisper it the other way
Trying to save the youth without putting your shoes on

[Chorus]
Looking for a new place to begin
Feeling like it's hard to understand
Well, as long as you still keep peppering the pill
You'll find a way to spit it out again
And even when you know the way it's gonna blow
It's hard to get around the wind
[Verse 3]
I can hear you through my window
But I'm never quite sure who is who
But they want the world on a dessert spoon
It always sounds like they're fighting
Or as if that's what they're about to do
It might not hurt now but it's going to hurt soon
