Heist [Ben Folds]
Over the Hedge Soundtrack · Over the Hedge [Soundtrack] [2006]
Follow me into the great unknown
Where pink flamingos grow
Diet soda flows
and what you take magically regenerates
on supermarket shelves
the ovens clean themselves
you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop
So we all ride for nothing
Cuz this train never stops
Da da da da da da da da da da...
We make a good team,
me and you, we do
You could scratch my back
And I'll scratch my back too
When Everyone is welcome at the party, yeah
People more is more
Ah we all want more
you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop
So we all ride for nothing
Cuz this train never stops
Da da da da da da da da da da...
You don't stop
you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop
So we all ride for nothing
Cuz this train never stops
Da da da da da da da da da da...
