Vehicles & Animals - Athlete

It’s the simple things like the robots Stevie G draws

And the ease with which we seem to pull those tricks

There are moments of escape for every one of us

And the beauty in the times that we create

I saw you smiling…

And I need my vehicles and animals

And I will be alright

Take me back to nineteen seventy nine

So I can find my open eyes

He can play all by himself for many hours

I have never seen a kid who’s so content

There is nothing from the outside that can touch him

'Cause he’s just learning how to be alone with one

I saw you smiling…

And I need my vehicles and animals

And I will be alright

Take me back to nineteen seventy nine

So I can find my open eyes

And I need my vehicles and animals

And I will be alright

Take me back to nineteen seventy nine

So I can find my open eyes

Lying down on my bed

I just got another kick to the head

Oh yeah you’re a part of me

Yet another branch on the family tree

Salt on my fingers salt in my cuts

Salt on my face and salt in my guts

It’s been a battle but we’ve come through OK

Stop what you’re doing and play

'Cause we’ve got our vehicles and animals so

We’re gonna be alright

There’s no need for us to go back in time

Because we’ve found our open eyes

We’ve got our vehicles and animals

So we’re gonna be alright

There’s no need for us to go back in time

Because we’ve found our open eyes
