Yellow Brick Road

[Verse: Angus Stone]

Just a spoon full of sugar
Makes the medicine go down
Sweet Mary-Jane won't you lay me down
Lost my heart in California, lost my mind
Shot me down with a revolver, got me high
Then a heart of gold came on the stereo
Mr Young made me cry
Then all the colors of the rainbow
Fell in my eyes

[Hook: Angus Stone]

I lost my mind long ago
Down that yellow brick road
I lost my mind long ago
Down that yellow brick road

[Post hook: Cee]

Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back
But I'mma take my time for me to find that
The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back
It's like I'm dying sometimes so I don't mind that,
Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back
But I ain't sure if I'm really wanting to find that
The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back
Tt's like I died a hundred times so I don't mind that

[Verse 2: Angus Stone]

Took a train to the river
Where I drove right in
That skinny dippin' girl
Made the blue bird sing
Fell in love in California, she blew my mind
She shot me down with her revolver
She got me high
Then the weather man came on the radio
Said there be sunshine
Then all the colors of the rainbow
Fell in my mind

[Hook: Angus Stone]

I lost my mind long ago
Down that yellow brick road
I lost my mind long ago
Down that yellow brick road

[Post Hook: Cee]

Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back
But I'mma take my time for me to find that
The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back
It's like I'm dying sometimes so I don't mind that
Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back
But I ain't sure if I'm really wanting to find that
The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back
It's like I died a million times so I don't mind that

[Hook: Angus Stone]

I lost my mind long ago
Down that yellow brick road
I lost my mind long ago
Down that yellow brick road

[Verse: Cee]

I think it's gone for good, my mind disappeared
It's feeling kinda normal when I think it should be really weird
It's the change that's been marinating inside for years
And only now it's coming out just who the fuck I really is
Most of my life was autopilot
I barely remember half the shit that happened before I had rap around and,
Music gave me meaning that nothing else ever did
So to hell with everything, I'm finna dedicate my life to this
So in turn, my identity it stemmed from rap
Everything I did, you best believe it's relating to that
At 29 years old, that's more than half my life
The only thing that mattered to this kid was a beat and a mic,
Across the planet it has taken me and lately
I been feeling like I'm going through something of an awakening
Shit that mattered then, don't really matter now
Shit that happened then, I kinda forgot about
And as a kid I always pictured how I'd be
When I get older, and whenever I look in the mirror I see him,
And I sit and wonder if I'm living up to my potential
Am I cruising at a speed that's gonna take me where I need to get to
Nothing is ever enough
And I know that it's my sense of urgency that's gonna take us to the top
But I'm struggling to navigate the negative around
Though I'm leading with conviction it's my flaws that bring me down
And I'm tired of the stress it brings, lying if I said it stings
All the while I'm praying that I never make a mess of things,
And I fell in the position that I'm in
Then my love for it grew with every lesson coming with it
Now I'm rollin' with a focus
Game is getting vicious, the crew is ridiculous, I'm unstoppable and I know this
But, my personal life is fucking with me
My best friend was lost when we broke up, scars is still visible
And even though we making music, in a moment
It can go from hella chill to world war three, and it's my fault,
I let it happen, wasn't ready for commitment
I gave her my twenties, now I think that I'mma relive 'em
And yo that's why I'm so damn vibed to get up outta here
I need a new me so bad, it's like I'm already there
In the end, you can't really blame me
A change of scenery is much better than a vacation,
And I've been waiting patient, resolve so strong, nothing can break me, yeah
Where I'm going, there ain't a ticket that can take me there
All I'm doing is putting work in
It feels with every step I take, success is the like furthest thing from certain,
But I'm a different person, like from another planet
And my jeans is getting tighter as my mindstate is expanding
So my friends all think I'm weird now, but everybody changes
I'm just overdue for something new to put my name to,
But I don't really wanna talk about this shit
So the people closest to me learn about it when I spit
So consider my mind gone, I lost it long ago down that (down that yellow brick road)
