Oatmeal Box Songtext
von Willie Nile

Clown heard the world′s getting you down
Don't give up hope there′s a secret way out of this town
Rise knock all the sleep from my eyes
Kick off the covers and tell all those mothers goodbye

We can go sailing away in am oatmeal box
Doffing our caps to the stars as they are coming up
Talking to angels with red string and paper cup
We can go drifting away

Hey sorry you're feeling this way
You need a vacation a trip through the old Milky Way
Here let me whisper in your ear
And when you're in trouble we′ll leave on the double my dear

We can go sailing away in an oatmeal box
Doffing our caps to the stars as they are coming up
Talking to angels with red string and paper cup
We can go drifting away


And petals of flowers will shower around our heads
We′ll close our eyes and imagine we're everywhere
We′ll be the boy who got lost at the country fair
We can go drifting away

Going somewhere maybe nowhere
Dreaming is free I'm you you′re me

So it's time to get on with the show
Tell everybody the coffee got muddy let′s go
What for here comes a knock on the door
We'll open it wide cause we've always got room for one more

We can go sailing away in am oatmeal box
Doffing our caps to the stars as they are coming up
Talking to angels with red string and paper cup
We can go drifting away

Nd petals of flowers will shower around our heads
We′ll close our eyes and imagine we′re everywhere
We'll be the boy who got lost at the country fair
We can go drifting away
We can go drifting away
