I’m off to join the ivy vines
Yes I’m off to join the ivy vines
Don’t try to talk me down
If you’ve never heard them singing out
‘cuz in the book that you breathe
You just write down what you read
When you could cut up every page
Any way that you please
Or now didn’t nobody ever tell son,
You’re free.
You follow the scene and you talk about art
But when you get home you’re just playing a part
While the man in the street with the leaves in his hair
He says he’s the prince of the trees and the air
The water and the sky,
Says in the book that you breathe
You just write down what you read
When you could cut up every page
Any way that you please
Or now didn’t nobody ever tell son,
You’re free.
