[Verse 1]
I've been sleeping fair
Lately I could swear
I'm thinking clearer and clearer
And I've been working hard
Looking at my punch card
And my mirror
My mirror
[Pre-Chorus]
But I daydream in my room
I'm baying at the moon
[Chorus]
Ricochet in time
To the music
You just pick a day and I'm
In a new destination
[Verse 2]
I take too many planes
I know too many names
And I forget them
I wanted to know if dreams would lie
You said they would try
And I said let them
You just let them
[Pre-Chorus]
But I kill dreams in the chase
I slap love in the face
[Chorus]
Ricochet in time
To the music
You just pick a day and I'm
In a new destination (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
I crawled up from the sewer
For something that was truer
Than I intended
I ended up on my knees
In this big city
I was befriended
I transcended
[Pre-Chorus]
But I bruise my friends for more
I rail at heaven's door
[Chorus]
Ricochet in time
To the music
You just pick a day and I'm
In a new destination (Oh)
[Outro]
La-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
