The House Jacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to rage as you rattle your cage
And remind me we've got a date
A clever grin and an attitude
You grab a fist full of monkey food
We hit the street, you remind me it's your turn to drive
You grab the wheel and i'm starting to feel
A blast of wind and the surf's in my hair
We're both a mess but we just don't care
Come with me, me and you, you will see
Somewhere, someone, something new
Adventure day
Sand and sun all around as you take the stage
Pretty girls all over the world
And it looks like they're just your age
A little red head has started to stare
Bring her a present and you can teach her to share
Trains and planes, a butterfly
Get on board it's time to touch the sky
