Hey na vro po

When I’m looking for a place to go
I say to myself “hey na vro po”
cos sometimes I just wanna go slow you know
so I clear my head with hey na vro po

it works like a dream every time
I let off steam I really unwind
to small animals and children I become very kind
after hey na vro po that’s what I find

it’s sort of like floating in your mind
you levitate and leave reality behind
looking down around you you look for signs
of where you’ve been or are going
it’s not defined

I sometimes follow myself walking down the street
my mind is vacant I’m walking a slow beat
I’m heading for a park to take a seat
and visiting the park feels really neat
so I sit gently down I put up my feet

I lean my head back to look up at the sky
it’s empty as my brain except a bird flies by
the bird is blue but it has a happy cry
hey na vro po everything is right with the sky

it’s so nice in a space where the world is green
where everything is cool a scene to be seen
I stretch out my arms along the seat in a dream
I then stretch out my legs and watch motes in a sunbeam

there are couples walking and families at play
there’s some kangaroos looking at me as if to say
so you’ve treated yourself to a hey na vro po day
well don't let us get in your way

good for you you deserve it mate
to take your empty self out and about is great
it's kind of like a one person date
hope you find the sweet spot in your mindless state

you can learn a thing or two from a kangaroo
when they look into your eyes just look back too
you’ll find a blankness you should aspire to too
for they are excellent role models for you
high quality lounging is what they like to do

so you lounge on the grass to watch life pass
you soak up sun as you stretch out and bask
you discover that lying on the grass is no task
you allow yourself to doze without being asked
and it doesn't matter one bit how long it lasts

twilight arrives as the sun starts to go down
time to go home walk back through the town
hey na vro po waylays any frown
you're so relaxed you don't mind downtown brown
still you weave some colourful flowers into a crown
another hey na vro po day you sought and you found
so you walk back with your feet just above the ground
