Lyrics

Ah yeah we’d loose our brains!

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
wonderin’ where they all disappeared
I didn’t ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
and we wound up drinkin’ all night

It’s these changes in latitudes
changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I’ve been
Visions of good times that brought
so much pleasue
makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomarrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I’ve seen more than I can recall

With These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

Ah we’d loose our brain!

I think about Paris when I’m high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
And so many nights I just dream of the ocean
God, I wish I was sailin’ again
Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder
So I can’t look back for too long (no way)
There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me
and I know that I just can’t go wrong
with these

It’s these changes in latitudes,
changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same.
With all of our running and all of our cunning,
If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane
If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane
If we weren’t all crazy, we would go insane
