Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just got back today and I'm searching 'round the place
Looking for you-know-who, but there's no sign yet
Singing, auto-pilot days, shining, ultra-violet rays
On this dusty skeleton, I feel akin on a cosmic level
[Verse 2]
I can see right through ya, yeah, I can read your bones
Just like a telephone book, maybe I should give it up, begin again
I am exercising how good it feels to be alive, and
No surprises up my sleeve, everything is temporary
[Chorus]
Ooh, praying mantis on my door
Looking for meaning or just any sign at all
Ooh, organizing all my thoughts
Making them rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time
[Verse 3]
Oh, gimme midnight love again, feeling somewhat alien
I'm floating aimless, but got my feet concreted
Beneath this creature of habit, teach me the magic of an
Extra ordinary day, oh, anodyne the time away
And there's no such thing as a perfect melody, but I keep
Searching every morning in the trees
[Chorus]
Ooh, praying mantis on my door
Looking for meaning or just any sign at all
Ooh, organizing all my thoughts
Making them rhyme, choosing wisely where I spend my time, and
[Outro]
I got my head sorted, sort of
I keep going, just because, yeah, just because
I got my head sorted, sort of
I keep going, just because, yeah, just because
