[Instrumental] E [Verse]
C               A#
Their mind is miles from their bodies

C                   A#
Forgot the joy of simply being

C                    A#
They miss the magic of the mundane

C                  A#
The way raindrops race down windowpanes

C                  A#
Always hurrying, never arriving

C                          A#
Nothing truly dangerous, nothing surprising

C              A#
Liberated by wings, unburdened by worry

C                                 A#
Forgot the destination but enjoyed the journey (whoo!)

You stupid men (scooby-doo-wop, doo-wop)

I just went to the costume shop (scooby-doo-wop, doo-wop)

E
And bought myself some wings (scooby-doo-wop, doo-)
