The Slider Lyrics

I could never understand the wind at all
Was like a ball of love
I could never, never see the cosmic sea
Was like a bumblebee

And when I'm sad, I slide

I have never, never kissed a car before
It's like a door
I have always, always grown my own before
All schools are strange

And when I'm sad, I slide
Oh, slide


Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do

And when I'm sad, I slide

I have never, never nailed a nose before
That's how the garden grows
I could never understand the wind at all
Was like a ball of love


And when I'm sad, I slide

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
