[Intro]
If I had a dollar, if I had a cent
I would play most anywhere if it would pay my rent
I'd be livin' on the downside in my old apartment
For the rest of my days
[Verse 1]
People always ask why the world is on the run
People like you and like me
Is it really true you can really never win?
Movin' to the upside, tell me when does the fun begin?
[Chorus]
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We will go just you and me to pick wild strawberries together
Or be livin' on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
Or meanderin' alone, we can face the world forever
Or we'll hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train
Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride
[Verse 2]
People often ask me just the way it must feel
To be standing up here with you down there
Let it now be known that throughout all of these years
I have been wearing polka dot underwear
[Chorus]
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We will go, just wait and see, to gather crabapples together
And be wandering along toward a cabin in the meadow
Or we'll hit the bounding main, be on a railroad train
Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride
[Verse 3]
People always ask why the world is on the slide
People like you and like me
Is it really true there will be no place left to hide?
Turning to the upside, when does the fun begin?
[Chorus]
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We might go just you and me to pick wild strawberries together
Or be livin' on our own in a cabin in a meadow
And the cows will come home, they can face the world forever
And we'll hit the bounding main or be on a railroad train
Hit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat ride
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
Hit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ride
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
