Well you thought you found your answer On that magic carpet ride last night When you wake up in the morning The world still gets you uptight There's nothing that you ain't tried To fill the emptiness inside But when you come back down girl You still ain't feeling right You think you're going to find yourself A little bit of paradise Well it ain't happened yet So girl you better think twice Can't you see no matter what you do You'll never run away from you And if you keep on running You'll still have the pay the price Don't you know that Kicks just keep getting harder to find And all your kicks Ain't bringing you peace of mind Before you find out it's too late girl You better get straight Nobody told me (kicks) No, you don't need to help You face the world each day That road goes nowhere I going to help you find yourself another way
