Magic Carpet Ryders - Shelter Lyrics

Everybody's talking much too much
I can't hear a word they're saying are you talking to me
Am I going through the motions
Am I swimming in the ocean waves
Am I lost at sea
Are the birds all singing or is that my phone ringing

If you fell a little lonely and you like to walk
Go adopt a dog
And if you're happy with where you're at
Go adopt a cat
It's the best friend you'll ever have

You can cage a swallow but you can't swallow a cage can you?
Am I going through the motions am I swimming in the ocean waves
Are the birds all singing or is that my phone ringing

I just wanna go to a thrift store
Surrounded by the t shirts of someone's ex boyfriends band
I wanna get out a bit more
People come together shake a feather clap a hand

And if you feel a little lonely and like to walk
Go adopt a dog
And if you're happy with where you're at
Go adopt a cat
It's the best friend you ever had
