[Verse 1] I woke up where the moon wore a crooked old crown, And the rivers ran uphill through the heart of the town. A rooster sang midnight, the streetlights grew wings, And the trees shook their branches like fiddlers with strings. Down a road made of thunder, I followed the sun, Past a house with no windows where the shadows had fun. A fox sold me wishes from a bright wooden cart, While a clock with no hands kept time in my heart. [Chorus] Oh, this bizarre world, spinning wild and free, (Oh, this bizarre world) Every strange little wonder keeps calling to me. With the stars in my pockets and the wind at my side, I’ll laugh at the madness and enjoy the ride. (Enjoy the ride) [Verse 2] I met a blue mountain that whistled my name, And a river of silver that danced through a flame. The clouds played banjos, the stones learned to sing, And a barefoot old scarecrow took flight on the spring. There were fish in the treetops and birds underground, A carnival train rolling backward through town. I chased down a rainbow on a runaway mare, And found golden daylight asleep in the air. [Chorus] Oh, this bizarre world, spinning wild and free, (Oh, this bizarre world) Every strange little wonder keeps calling to me. With the stars in my pockets and the wind at my side, I’ll laugh at the madness and enjoy the ride. (Enjoy the ride) [Bridge] So if you see me dancing where the road disappears, Don’t call me crazy, I’ve misplaced my fears. For the world may be crooked, but that’s how it grows, And the strangest wild garden is where anything goes. [Final Chorus] Oh, this bizarre world, spinning wild and free, (Oh, this bizarre world) Every strange little wonder keeps calling to me. With the stars in my pockets and the wind at my side, I’ll laugh at the madness and enjoy the ride. (Enjoy the ride)
