You tie a knot around some sheets and throw them out

You cut your losses and plan your route

The days of ravage now will quickly recede

Oh how sweet the air seems tonight

I found a way to keep my cool, yea not freak out

You start to holler and I'll phase you out

Wave your finger and I'm well on my way

So have a good day all night

And now we are going to a place called the shut down land

You get into my face and I'll be off again

There's parties every corner, it just never ends

Tonight in the shut down land

The Kontiki or a West Coast holiday

It's just a couple of screams away

My attire is the shirt on my back

And I still over packed again

I'm levitating and my feet have left the ground

I hear you fussing and I can feel your frown

Hope this message will find you quite well

Gotta run, it's been swell, goodbye

And now we are going to a place called the shut down land

You get into my face and I'll be off again

I'll stay a day or two I guess it all depends

Tonight in the shut down land

The shut down land

The shut down land

I'm levitating and my feet have left the ground

I hear you fussing and I can feel your frown

Hope this message will find you quite well

Gotta run, it's been swell, goodbye

And now we are going to a place called the shut down land

You get into my face and I'll be off again

There's parties every corner, it just never ends

Tonight in the shut down land

And now we are going to a place called the shut down land

Yeah can ride my back I'll find a shack in somewhere land

I'll stay a day or two

I guess it all depends tonight in the shut down land

Tonight in the shut down land
