Cracked up

Verse 1: In the heart of the town, where the buses come round, There’s a bloke with his dreams all packed in a cloud. He mumbles in shades of grey and brown, As the world spins 'round, he's barely sound. Pre-Chorus: But close his eyes, the skies they change, A ticket in hand, he’s off again. Chorus: Aloha skies and luau nights, he’s dancing, Under the palms, he’s freely chancing. Waves wash clear his mind’s expanse, In this island trance, he finds romance. Verse 2: Near the corner shop with a cheeky grin, His thoughts all scattered in the wind. Rain drizzles down on cobbled streets, Reality’s tough, life's no retreat. Pre-Chorus: But with a blink, the raindrops pause, He’s miles away from these urban shores. Chorus: Surf’s up high where dolphins play, He’s speaking truths in the most poetic way. Coconut rhythms beat the time, In his dreams, he's in his prime. Bridge: From gritty streets to sandy beaches, Life lessons that each world teaches. Maybe it’s not where you are, It’s where your mind allows you to star. Chorus: He’s the lei-maker crafting words so sweet, In visions where both worlds meet. A perfect wave on the North Shore breaks, Even in dreams, whatever it takes. Outro: So here he stands, the local ‘nut,’ Living his life with eyes half shut. But in his mind, he’s a voyager wide, Riding the tides, where dreams abide.
