Flat tire
We left town to look for someone
Who would listen to some songs
We cooked in our magic kitchen
Change was forbidden
It wasn't clear
Everyone must sing the same old songs every year.
(1st verse chords)
Like a spell the sounds came dancing in our heads
Painting pictures as we slept our souls were fed
In a music box we kept our secret songs
Packed our bags, we took the van and before long.
Refrain:
Tides shift and side into another
Like a flat tire twisting fates
An innocent chance in the destiny dance
Take you down the wizard gates.
(1st verse chords)
Never speak to strangers
Often I was told
They looked desperately harmless
I felt bold
Sometime later, alligator
We were friends, shared some stories
Tales of worries, somehow it all blends.
Chorus:
Everyone seemed all right
Situation stable
Everything seemed all right
Never turns out to be quite simple
We had to get back
(We) Packed the wrong box in the sack
We had to get back
(And) She tagged along.
Repeat Refrain
Repeat last 4 lines of Chorus
She tagged along... }x2
Repeat Refrain
Take you down the wizard gates... }x2
