Minutes from somewhere else.
Somewhere I made a wish
with Lucky Denver Mint.
You're not bigger than this, not better.
Why can't you learn.
[repeat]
Hurry go on ahead.
Good things won't let you wait.
I'll catch up when we get home.
At home I'll leave.
A dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me.
You're not bigger than this, not better.
Why can't you learn.
[repeat::]
why can't i learn
why can't i
learn
learn
learn
you're not bigger than this, not better
why can't you learn
