Mind on Holiday

We could simplify the days if we stayed up all night Wander around the city being blinded by the lights And dance till the sunrise, valley below Then go singing from indoors when the streets fill with snow And I'd hang my head with my headphones on Vacation with the sound, people wondered where I'd gone In a daze when reality just ain't coming through She goes searching for her soul in the music Singing I ain't been sleeping for days Been trying to find the sun in the shade Been trying to catch the radio waves The ones that make you feel okay Cause every time that the music plays It's got your mind on holiday While Lucy's been on cigarettes Tommy's set to lose his mind They got all the symptoms But they're not ready yet to change their lives And so they set sail now with the sound And they let it take 'em far from the politics I know you like to let loose every once in awhile babe As soon as the music hits Cause every time that the music plays It's got your mind on holiday Bouncing off the walls with their feet going wild And all it took is sound in her body for that smile And he's rocking in his bedroom thinking he's on stage He screams out to the crowd and they all scream back his name Its like a gesture from the gods he just came to play For all the folks who say music is nothing like the Golden Age The ones who stay up waiting for a change Still let the music take them far away Cause every time that the music plays It's got your mind on holiday
