Like when the cupboard is empty or there's no food in the Frigidaire

Just a kick away from the heels of the wind
You don't deserve that treatment, I can't pretend I was that nice
I'm no E ticket ride to Disneyland, I'm no cushy first class flight
I'm a day behind your restless wings
You, you rather have the wealth of kings
Me, I'd rather be on the heels of the wind

Just a kick away, yeah

Just a kick away from the heels of the wind.
