Young man, come to me and ask me for a smoke straight off of Bourbon Street alley cat with a dirty coat he said it's hard out here just being me when the people light the way that I want them to be When I get the chance to build just what I see Make me believe this life's for me and I will be free
That night, the architect can't sleep he's laying out his plans for the building with a new foundation built together by a million hands beyond the wires, just meant to fly, getting out beyond the fences into the sky you know I'll find the place for my design. a space for me and my piece of mind
I wanna build a home by the ocean underneath the sky, gonna leave the door wide open so I can see everything, gonna build a home by the ocean buried in the sand, gonna leave the door wide open so I can sing
oh, yea, yeah yeah!
I wanna build a home by the ocean underneath the sky, gonna leave the door wide open so I can see everything, gonna build a home by the ocean buried in the sand, gonna leave the door wide open so I can sing
(echo section/overlap) I'm gonna build a home by the ocean woahh woah woahh leave the door wide open so I can sing Woah woah Build a home by the ocean so I can sing Leave the door wide open So I can see everything.
