Skipping Stones On Asphalt MAG
There are no ponds, no rivers and lakes, and no clear water
So we'll skip stones on the asphalt.
The lights of electricity conceal the lights of the night
So we'll go to the mountain to see a single star.
Safety will always now come first,
And laughter comes last.
We'll skip stones on the asphalt.
How many times have you lost yourself to laughter?
How many times have you stopped consciously thinking?
We'll skip stones on the asphalt.
We'll skip stones on the asphalt,
And we'll adapt to a lack of life's ancient pleasures.
No more will we swim in ponds and lakes,
For they're too polluted and that's why there are concrete swimming pools.
No more will we wander in the woods aimlessly,
For there are no more woods, and we could get lost.
We'll skip stones on the asphalt,
And we'll cry.
