0:00ordinary joe - Nujabes (せば じゅん)
0:55And for my opening line
0:58I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind
1:03I turn you on
1:06I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
1:12And bringing music when you hear it
1:15Keep on trying to get near it
1:20A little rhythm for your spirit
1:24Oh but that's what it's for
1:26Come on in here's the door
1:28And I've seen a sparrow get high
1:32Wasting time in the sky
1:36He thinks it's easy to fly
1:40He's just a little bit freer than I
2:31Down here on the ground
2:34When you find folks are giving you the runaround
2:39Get your game uptight
2:42And if you must just take your secrets underground
2:48Politicians are trying to speech you
2:51Mad colour watchers are trying to teach you
2:56Very few will really try to reach you
3:00If you're lost in a stack
3:02That's OK come on back
3:04I'd be the last to deny
3:08That I'm just an average guy
3:12Each little bird in the sky
3:16Is just a little bit freer than I
3:19Say ordinary Joe
3:22Although they say you're just a lazy so and so
3:27What they think is real
3:30Is nothing but an animated puppet show
3:35So don't let time and space confuse you
3:40And don't let name and form abuse you
3:44Well let big Joe Williams blues you
3:48In the light of the sun you can see how they run
3:52Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
3:56Wasting time in the sky
4:00He thinks it's easy to fly
4:04He's just a little bit freer than I
