Chorus: Shallow be thy ways, leaving no trace, your etch-a-sketch portraits fly in the face
of the needle in the sun, where the duplikids run, uptown rich girls having lots of fun


Don't remember what they did, don't remember what they said
All I know is that I'm used to behaving like a kid, cause the turnpike sounds fly by
And the pattern in the sky don't think, scheme, or cry for your shallow lives led

So smoke a bowl with a friend, cause in no uncertain terms everything is coming back around again, again, again, again

Chorus: Shallow be thy ways, leaving no trace, your etch a sketch lifestyles sailing on the breeze

and the clouds in your eyes, don't even ask why, down home poor boys shine so bright

So I cast no stones, while I roll them bones, hoping for heaven but I'll settle for a loan

Cause I never had a home, never had a clue, I never knew,
Try to impeach my freedoms I'll be seeing you
On the street, at the store, in the elevator, or the boat heading round the bend, bend, bend, bend, bend


Bridge Verse: The waves got bigger as the earth dropped away, high above the caves the water turned grey
Like the sun in my eyes, shifting with my point of view, and I knew that this had to be the way,

Soul for the road,
Ease above the haze, haze, haze, haze
Now we say


Chorus 1 & 2
