[Verse 1]
I don't understand, I just live and do
‘Congratulations!' You said, ‘you're allowed'
I think I'm all feel today - you think, 'you think, you stink'
Ten exits away, you just said, ‘Oh, wow.'

[Chorus]
I'm so relaxed
Little wistful perhaps
Ocean next
Ocean next

[Verse 2]
Just go and see the thousand pictures
That tomorrow is or will surely be
Read, read, read - receive, lose, receive
Be happy, it's all you leave

[Chorus]
I'm so relaxed
Little wistful perhaps
Ocean next
Ocean next
Ocean next

[Verse 3]
I'll turn my music up - listen, don't guess
At the centre of it, a little sadness
Ocean next, the thousand pictures
Better than sex or salt n' vinegar chips
