Verse
Hey you, wasting another day
Waiting for someone
Who gonna pick up your shoes
And start running running running
Instead of you
It’s a paradox of time
And I feel, and I feel I can find
There's a hamster in my soul
So so so so scared and depressed
Open morning press and find
You gonna win a big prize.

Chorus
Rowing rowing rowing rowing in a haze
Waiting waiting waiting wating for today
These are my salad days I'm so young and alive
I've got nothing to waste I've got songs in my eyes

Verse
Hey you, get out the shell
Blue sits you well
You gonna put a new cloth
Close close close close
You close all the doors
As you close your eyes
I can't take it anymore
More more more more
We need more love
Instead of war

Chorus
Rowing rowing rowing rowing in a haze
Waiting waiting waiting wating for today
These are my salad days I'm so young and alive
I've got nothing to waste I've got songs in my eyes
