lyrics

Don't need no ticket, I'm walking
Gone to get lost in the world
Don't need no map where I'm headed
Gone to get lost in the world

Yes, I don't know
Yes, no clue
How many times can I stay?
What has gotten to me
it is gettin to you
How many times can I stay?

How the days can blister, fester
Going to doctor my disease
I let it all go one evening
Gone to get caught in the breeze

When nobody's jumping off,
what about you?
How many times can I stay?
When everybody's doing it
it's easy to do
How many times can I stay?

I'm
gone to get lost in the world
I'm
gone to get lost in the world

How many times can I stay?

In the air, I can smell the nectar
Going to harvest all my seeds
Hope you don't mind when my picking is through
my basket is going home with you

What I assume you shall assume
How many times can I stay?
Every atom of me belonging to you
How many times can I stay?
