lyrics
ON A CLOUD, I DON’T THINK
I’M COMING DOWN
FEELIN’ SO FAR, AHEAD
OF MOST I DON’T THINK
THAT I CAN BE FOUND
MAN I AM ON A CLOUD, I
DON’T THINK I’M COMING
DOWN, FEELIN’ SO FAR,
AHEAD OF MOST I DON’T
THINK THAT I CAN BE FOUND
SEE THIS SHIT I’D BE DOIN’

BARS I’M GOIN’ SO FAR AND
I’M GUARANTEED TO SEE MILLS
