In the middle of the car crash, you turned to me and said
'Living's so pretty, let's do it again'
For all the things I want to do
For all the things I want to do
Oh no, no, no...
In the middle of the car crash, you told me you love me
The key chain wedding ring, 'whatcha say we get married?'
There's so much more I want to do
There's so much more I want to do
Oh no...
At 70 miles per hour where we rolled out together
Let's sleep in this ditch, tonight and forever
You're everything I could want to do
There's nothing more I could want to do...
Than be with you
Light At The End Of The Tunnel lyrics - Cloud Cult
...when I felt the cold coming up
I went "oh my god, I'm dying"
And the next thing I know
I was out of my body
And I had no pain
I was aware that the room was light
Seemed to be filling with a very white light
I noticed a tunnel opening up
A very dark tunnel
With rings in it
And a very white
Tiny white second light at the very end
That we were moving down toward
The tunnel was very interesting because
It was full of rings
Like a child's play tube out in the backyard
We made it through the tunnel
We got to the white light
The little hole had opened up
And we got to the white light
And my life was shown very quickly
Like an old fashioned movie
That you see on those tapes
Flickering at me
And everything from when I was very very young
That I thought, did, said
Everything I should have done
Everything I didn't do
I was so aware that the few good things I had done
They were so few
And I said "no, no"
I said, "I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back!"
I went "oh my god, I'm dying"
And the next thing I know
I was out of my body
And I had no pain
I was aware that the room was light
Seemed to be filling with a very white light
I noticed a tunnel opening up
A very dark tunnel
With rings in it
And a very white
Tiny white second light at the very end
That we were moving down toward
The tunnel was very interesting because
It was full of rings
Like a child's play tube out in the backyard
We made it through the tunnel
We got to the white light
The little hole had opened up
And we got to the white light
And my life was shown very quickly
Like an old fashioned movie
That you see on those tapes
Flickering at me
And everything from when I was very very young
That I thought, did, said
Everything I should have done
Everything I didn't do
I was so aware that the few good things I had done
They were so few
And I said "no, no"
I said, "I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back!"
Million Things lyrics - Cloud Cult
There are a million things I'd like to do today,
but I'll do none of them, cuz there are a million things doing me.
There are a million things that I'd like to say,
but I'll say none of them, cuz there are a million things said to me.
I'm A-okay, if you'll Be-okay, and I won't run away, if you won't run away from me.
Can't Stop the Journey
Can't stop the journey now…
but I'll do none of them, cuz there are a million things doing me.
There are a million things that I'd like to say,
but I'll say none of them, cuz there are a million things said to me.
I'm A-okay, if you'll Be-okay, and I won't run away, if you won't run away from me.
Can't Stop the Journey
Can't stop the journey now…
Clip-Clop lyrics - Cloud Cult
Clip-clop, happy horse, giddy-up away from No-No-No into Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
Slish-slosh, life boat, float me away from No-No-No into Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
I have sailed through hurricanes with just a wooden plank and a smilie face,
And it took me somewhere that I don't know.
And I'll not be stranded here this time, cuz I've found escape is a state of mind,
And I'm going somewhere that I don't know (no, no, no).
Strum-strum, giddy guitar, you're my lifeline...my happy-happy...my Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
Strum-strum, giddy guitar, take me somewhere that I don't know,
Strum-strum [x4], take me somewhere that I don't know,
where they sing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Slish-slosh, life boat, float me away from No-No-No into Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
I have sailed through hurricanes with just a wooden plank and a smilie face,
And it took me somewhere that I don't know.
And I'll not be stranded here this time, cuz I've found escape is a state of mind,
And I'm going somewhere that I don't know (no, no, no).
Strum-strum, giddy guitar, you're my lifeline...my happy-happy...my Yeah-Yeah-Yeah.
Strum-strum, giddy guitar, take me somewhere that I don't know,
Strum-strum [x4], take me somewhere that I don't know,
where they sing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Training Wheels lyrics - Cloud Cult
Today is the day we take off your training wheels.
We think you can do it.
Do you think you can do it?
You can't fall down, cuz everyone is watching you.
They don't think you can do it.
It's your chance to prove it.
How are you doing? [x3]
You can't stop now, although there are walls all around.
You just gotta go through it. [x2]
And you can't fall down, cuz everyone is watching you.
They need to see you do.
You need to see you do it.
How are you doing? [x3]
We think you can do it.
Do you think you can do it?
You can't fall down, cuz everyone is watching you.
They don't think you can do it.
It's your chance to prove it.
How are you doing? [x3]
You can't stop now, although there are walls all around.
You just gotta go through it. [x2]
And you can't fall down, cuz everyone is watching you.
They need to see you do.
You need to see you do it.
How are you doing? [x3]
We Made Up Your Mind For You lyrics - Cloud Cult
We made up your mind for you last night,
so you can decide that you'll be alright.
It's no small trick to beat-beat
the pessimistic motherfucker sleeping inside your head.
Do you believe in you?
Cuz no one else can do that for you.
Are you ready yet? Are you ready yet?
you don't want to hear it.
so you can decide that you'll be alright.
It's no small trick to beat-beat
the pessimistic motherfucker sleeping inside your head.
Do you believe in you?
Cuz no one else can do that for you.
Are you ready yet? Are you ready yet?
you don't want to hear it.
That Man Jumped Out The Window lyrics - Cloud Cult
It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
It's your tone in my mouth
It's the things that we're too scared to talk about
It's the feeling that you're dreaming
(You're not really dreaming)
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
It's the feeling that you're falling
But there's a fine line between falling and flying
It's the feeling that you've lost it
What don't you get?
What don't you get?
[x2]
It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
It's your tone in my mouth
It's the things that we're too scared to talk about
It's the feeling that you're dreaming
(You're not really dreaming)
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
It's the feeling that you're falling
But there's a fine line between falling and flying
It's the feeling that you've lost it
What don't you get?
What don't you get?
[x2]
It's the thoughts that you feed
It's the habits you need
It's the things that you don't think that you're seeing
When you're really seeing
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
That man jumped out the window
Come back in the window
Lucky Today lyrics - Cloud Cult
I got two hands on the sunshine
I got one foot in the grave
I got 25 cents in my wallet
And I'm feeling mighty lucky today
Hey, hey
My bones are made out of ivory
And my blood is made out of ocean waves
And someone stole my wallet
But I'm feeling mighty lucky today
Hey, hey
I got one foot in the grave
I got 25 cents in my wallet
And I'm feeling mighty lucky today
Hey, hey
My bones are made out of ivory
And my blood is made out of ocean waves
And someone stole my wallet
But I'm feeling mighty lucky today
Hey, hey
Norman Rockwell lyrics - Cloud Cult
Crashed down in your old quilt and the third-grade chalk stains on your fingers
Gramma's sleeping in the other room
Christmas is only ten months away
I think it can still be just like Norman Rockwell
Gramma's sleeping in the other room
Christmas is only ten months away
I think it can still be just like Norman Rockwell
Bobby's Spacesuit lyrics - Cloud Cult
Bobby's got a spacesuit made out of squirrel skin
He's pushing downwards out and sucking upwards in
And this is truth to him, and this is truth to him
Gina burns her Barbie 'til it's unrecognizable rubber
Screw your d size cups 'cause I'm a way better lover
This is truth to her, this is truth to her
Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes
Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes
And this is truth to me, this is truth to me
He's pushing downwards out and sucking upwards in
And this is truth to him, and this is truth to him
Gina burns her Barbie 'til it's unrecognizable rubber
Screw your d size cups 'cause I'm a way better lover
This is truth to her, this is truth to her
Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes
Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes
And this is truth to me, this is truth to me

Breakfast With My Shadow lyrics - Cloud Cult
I woke up in a Lego bedroom
Sleeping in my burlap sack
And all the mosquitos know I love you
Can I love me just as much
And I had breakfast with my shadow
We had quite the discussion
Can you fall in love with the things you only know the things you may never touch?
My day at work was just like it always is
The same old same old
I appreciate the opportunity over and over
But I had supper with my shadow
And we had quite the discussion
If I truly believe that things can change will I wake up to something different?
Sleeping in my burlap sack
And all the mosquitos know I love you
Can I love me just as much
And I had breakfast with my shadow
We had quite the discussion
Can you fall in love with the things you only know the things you may never touch?
My day at work was just like it always is
The same old same old
I appreciate the opportunity over and over
But I had supper with my shadow
And we had quite the discussion
If I truly believe that things can change will I wake up to something different?
Alone At A Party In A Ghost Town lyrics - Cloud Cult
I'm alone, I'm alone at a party
In a ghost town, yeah
Are you there, are you there anybody?
'Cause I feel a bit down, yeah
There is God, there is God in the secrets that you tell me
Truth has a beautiful sound, yeah
We will get, we will get what we're deserving
'Cause it all comes around, yeah
I'm alone, I'm alone at a party
In a ghost town, yeah
Are you there, are you there anybody?
'Cause I feel a bit down, yeah
There is God, there is God in the secrets that you tell me
Truth has a beautiful sound, yeah
We will get, we will get what we're deserving
'Cause it all comes around, yeah
There is hope, there is hope in the worms and the maggots
'Cause they're breaking it down, yeah
There is love, there is love in the things that you're seeking
And the things that you've found
I'm alone, I'm alone at a party
In a ghost town, yeah
In a ghost town, yeah
Are you there, are you there anybody?
'Cause I feel a bit down, yeah
There is God, there is God in the secrets that you tell me
Truth has a beautiful sound, yeah
We will get, we will get what we're deserving

As Long As You're Happy lyrics - Cloud Cult
I wanted to take you to prom in my ice cream truck
You made me feel twenty feet tall but I couldn't stand up
Was I just your car crash
A scribbled note in your ten year old journal
Will you think of me when you're watching
Your nbc sitcoms
Or the sunday night movie
As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy
Now you are painted fingernails and tampons
And I am one feathered wing and one naked arm
Was I just your stunt man
A temporary stand-in for your Hollywood superman
Will you think of me when you're writing
Your annual christmas letters
An update of the family
As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy
You kiss so deep
I could taste you in my toes
Now you're so far I wouldn't even know how to say hello
Was I just your car crash
A scribbled note in your ten year old journal
Will you think of me when you're watching
Your nbc sitcoms
Or the sunday night movie
Was I just your stunt man
A temporary stand-in for your Hollywood superman
Will you think of me when you're writing your annual christmas letters
An update of the family
As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy.
You made me feel twenty feet tall but I couldn't stand up
Was I just your car crash
A scribbled note in your ten year old journal
Will you think of me when you're watching
Your nbc sitcoms
Or the sunday night movie
As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy
Now you are painted fingernails and tampons
And I am one feathered wing and one naked arm
Was I just your stunt man
A temporary stand-in for your Hollywood superman
Will you think of me when you're writing
Your annual christmas letters
An update of the family
As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy
You kiss so deep
I could taste you in my toes
Now you're so far I wouldn't even know how to say hello
Was I just your car crash
A scribbled note in your ten year old journal
Will you think of me when you're watching
Your nbc sitcoms
Or the sunday night movie
Was I just your stunt man
A temporary stand-in for your Hollywood superman
Will you think of me when you're writing your annual christmas letters
An update of the family
As long as you're happy
As long as you're happy.
Chandeliers lyrics - Cloud Cult
Last night I was looking for some romance
I went to a square dance feeling like a circle
But did you see my mom last night?
She was so dang pretty
I ended up in a corn field,
Skeeters on my toe nails
‘Til the cows came back from their bleeding
Did you see my dad last night?
He was so dang witty
And love scares me
Like chandeliers
Pretty shards of glass
To clean my ears
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single, hanging from a single, single…
I’m always dumbing up the smart things
And smarting up the dumb things
And knottin’ up my shoe strings
And messing up the good things
But did you see the stars last night?
Punctuation for a perfect poem and
Tearin’ down your walls
But I’m building up my walls
So no one knows no nothing,
No one knows no nothing
Did you see God last night?
An eighty-year-old on a red tricycle
I built the earth, I love you
Goddammit, I mean gosh darn
I built the earth, above you
Goddamn, gosh darn
And you can’t take this away
You can’t take this away
You can’t take this away
And love scares me
Like chandeliers
Pretty shards of glass
To clean my ears
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single, hanging from a single, single…
I went to a square dance feeling like a circle
But did you see my mom last night?
She was so dang pretty
I ended up in a corn field,
Skeeters on my toe nails
‘Til the cows came back from their bleeding
Did you see my dad last night?
He was so dang witty
And love scares me
Like chandeliers
Pretty shards of glass
To clean my ears
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single, hanging from a single, single…
I’m always dumbing up the smart things
And smarting up the dumb things
And knottin’ up my shoe strings
And messing up the good things
But did you see the stars last night?
Punctuation for a perfect poem and
Tearin’ down your walls
But I’m building up my walls
So no one knows no nothing,
No one knows no nothing
Did you see God last night?
An eighty-year-old on a red tricycle
I built the earth, I love you
Goddammit, I mean gosh darn
I built the earth, above you
Goddamn, gosh darn
And you can’t take this away
You can’t take this away
You can’t take this away
And love scares me
Like chandeliers
Pretty shards of glass
To clean my ears
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single wire
Waiting for the plaster to crack
Hanging from a single, hanging from a single, single…
Buried Poetry lyrics - Cloud Cult
Paper and pencils made a birth:
Poetry that I once wrote her.
There's nothing we were holding down.
Nothing we were holding down.
I kept a favorite photograph
Of her and I in the tall dream grass.
And nothing here could take us down.
Nothing here could take us down.
Paper buried in the dirt:
It's all the poetry that I once wrote her.
It's something we were burning down.
Something we were burning down.
I lost my favorite photographs
Buried deep in the tall dream grass.
There's so much I am holding down.
(So much I am holding down.)
There's so much I am holding down.
Poetry that I once wrote her.
There's nothing we were holding down.
Nothing we were holding down.
I kept a favorite photograph
Of her and I in the tall dream grass.
And nothing here could take us down.
Nothing here could take us down.
Paper buried in the dirt:
It's all the poetry that I once wrote her.
It's something we were burning down.
Something we were burning down.
I lost my favorite photographs
Buried deep in the tall dream grass.
There's so much I am holding down.
(So much I am holding down.)
There's so much I am holding down.
All Together Alone lyrics - Cloud Cult
The monsters underneath your bed
They're all just praying for you to let them crawl back home
I know it's hard to sleep
When you're so frozen
But we are all together alone
You won't find you
Unless you lose your mind
And you let go of all the things you cling to
'Cause we are all together alone
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I am crushed by all this madness
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty...
They're all just praying for you to let them crawl back home
I know it's hard to sleep
When you're so frozen
But we are all together alone
You won't find you
Unless you lose your mind
And you let go of all the things you cling to
'Cause we are all together alone
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I am crushed by all this madness
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty...
My Fictitious Life With Amily lyrics - Cloud Cult
Amily, you are the first thing that I think of at 3 am
Amily, will you be there to put pennies on my eyes?
Would you like a beer or a cigarette or a road trip to Utah?
'Cause I will give you what you wanted
Amily, I can hear constellations when you speak to me
Amily, will you really mean it when you say, "I love you?"
Would you like a garden, a castle, a rocketship, a baby?
'Cause I can give you want you wanted
And if I propose will you lay down next to me?
And if you say no, well I refuse to miss you
'Cause I know God's got its finger on my pulse
Beep beep
I'll live on, I'll live on
Beep beep
I'll live on, I'll live on
And if I propose will you lay down next to me?
'Cause I can give you what you've wanted
Amily, will you be there to put pennies on my eyes?
Would you like a beer or a cigarette or a road trip to Utah?
'Cause I will give you what you wanted
Amily, I can hear constellations when you speak to me
Amily, will you really mean it when you say, "I love you?"
Would you like a garden, a castle, a rocketship, a baby?
'Cause I can give you want you wanted
And if I propose will you lay down next to me?
And if you say no, well I refuse to miss you
'Cause I know God's got its finger on my pulse
Beep beep
I'll live on, I'll live on
Beep beep
I'll live on, I'll live on
And if I propose will you lay down next to me?
'Cause I can give you what you've wanted
Grappling Hook / Northern Lights lyrics - Cloud Cult
I've got a broken wing and a grappling hook and I, I won't give up
Seven days ago the Earth could have eaten me but, I'm still alive [x7]
Seven days ago the Earth could have eaten me but, I'm still alive [x7]
Lights Inside My Head lyrics - Cloud Cloud
I've been seeing lights inside my head
I'm not broken, I am fixed again
Will you love me through these changes?
'Cause I can't make them go away
And Hell is the fear of pain
While Heaven is the faith that things will be okay
And all your life you've been waiting for someone to hold you like the day you were born
To look into those eyes and know that we are all the same
And you're so beautiful in every way
And fuck 'em, Lucy
But I'm drunk again
I'll be okay...
I'm not broken, I am fixed again
Will you love me through these changes?
'Cause I can't make them go away
And Hell is the fear of pain
While Heaven is the faith that things will be okay
And all your life you've been waiting for someone to hold you like the day you were born
To look into those eyes and know that we are all the same
And you're so beautiful in every way
And fuck 'em, Lucy
But I'm drunk again
I'll be okay...
Beautiful Boy lyrics - Cloud Cult
I'm climbing to the Sun on a cobweb made of tinker'toys
I'm dressed in Sunday's best
I'll see you soon
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Beautiful, beautiful
I'm halfway to the Sun
There are ghosts all around me
And I see your face in the Sun
The light at the end of the tunnel
Where are you going?...
Don't go, don't go, don't go
I Finally reached the Sun
Oh my son, you are beautiful
I'm so tired
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Beautiful, beautiful
I'm dressed in Sunday's best
I'll see you soon
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Beautiful, beautiful
I'm halfway to the Sun
There are ghosts all around me
And I see your face in the Sun
The light at the end of the tunnel
Where are you going?...
Don't go, don't go, don't go
I Finally reached the Sun
Oh my son, you are beautiful
I'm so tired
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Beautiful, beautiful
I Guess This Dream Is For Me lyrics - Cloud Cult
These moments are brief
When you can truly say you know yourself
You must lose your mind in order for to find it
And sometimes you've just got to fall
So you can see the bottom
Or you'll never know what's holding you up
And this life feels like a dream to me
It's beautiful and it's twisted
But for right now, I don't want to wake up
So I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me
I'd tell you the truth
But my angle's always changing
I'd point the right way
But I don't think there's any such thing
I like to think that it really doesn't matter
where you're going or where you're from
The truth is always moving
And it's always where you're standing
We may disagree but no one's wrong
So I guess this dream is for me
And I guess this dream is for me
I lost my way
When I was taught to follow the others
And I lost my mind
When I believed in the truth of my brothers
I believed those who told me I have to die to see Heaven
And those who said Heaven's inside me
It's beautiful that we all see it just a little different
We're the lead role in our own dream
And I guess this dream's for me
And I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me
When you can truly say you know yourself
You must lose your mind in order for to find it
And sometimes you've just got to fall
So you can see the bottom
Or you'll never know what's holding you up
And this life feels like a dream to me
It's beautiful and it's twisted
But for right now, I don't want to wake up
So I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me
I'd tell you the truth
But my angle's always changing
I'd point the right way
But I don't think there's any such thing
I like to think that it really doesn't matter
where you're going or where you're from
The truth is always moving
And it's always where you're standing
We may disagree but no one's wrong
So I guess this dream is for me
And I guess this dream is for me
I lost my way
When I was taught to follow the others
And I lost my mind
When I believed in the truth of my brothers
I believed those who told me I have to die to see Heaven
And those who said Heaven's inside me
It's beautiful that we all see it just a little different
We're the lead role in our own dream
And I guess this dream's for me
And I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me
I guess this dream is for me

And now they're living somewhere on the sun
I want to leave this world together
And you and I will live up on the sun
And some day we will live up on the sun
Grandpa and Grandma left this world together
And now they're living somewhere on the sun
I want to leave this world together
And you and I will live up on the sun
Moon's Thoughts lyrics - Cloud Cult
I saw my insides fall out, and so I sucked them back in, I was surprised by what was in there
A little boy with dolphin fins, a bucket of leggos and gin, an atomic bomb, the Dali Lama.
He could not tell me the way, he could not tell me the meaning, until I'm ready to be crucified.
And the wind is made of moon's thoughts
All quickened with poetry and madness,
And if you hold in your lungs for just a few seconds,
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
We are Buddha, Confucious, and Jesus Christ.
We were born to philosophize.
But if we want to fly, we've got to leave our shit on the ground.
Or is that too much to sacrifice?
And we will not know the Way,
And we will not know the Meaning, until we are ready to be crucified.
And the wind is made of moon's thoughts,
All quickened with poetry and madness,
And if you hold in your lungs for just a few seconds,
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
A little boy with dolphin fins, a bucket of leggos and gin, an atomic bomb, the Dali Lama.
He could not tell me the way, he could not tell me the meaning, until I'm ready to be crucified.
And the wind is made of moon's thoughts
All quickened with poetry and madness,
And if you hold in your lungs for just a few seconds,
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
We are Buddha, Confucious, and Jesus Christ.
We were born to philosophize.
But if we want to fly, we've got to leave our shit on the ground.
Or is that too much to sacrifice?
And we will not know the Way,
And we will not know the Meaning, until we are ready to be crucified.
And the wind is made of moon's thoughts,
All quickened with poetry and madness,
And if you hold in your lungs for just a few seconds,
You'll feel the burning I speak of.
You'll feel the burning I speak of.

Fairy Tale lyrics - Cloud Cult
Little Jack Horner fell in love with the witch upon the moon
Her name was Mother Hubbard she kept whiskey in her cupboard
So her wings were made of spoons
They dated for a week and then married on the beach
But the wolf thought it was too soon
The three blind mice said it was all very nice so they moved up on the moon
They had a little girl, her name was Bo Peep
She was pretty, she was bright
She put on her red coat and went to see grandma
But disappeared in the night
Jack wouldn't eat fat, Hubbard wouldn't eat lean
So they got into a fight
Jack grew a beanstalk, big and green
So they climbed into the sky
Somewhere in the clouds they lost each other
When the cow jumped over the moon
But old Mother Hubbard found little Miss Muffet
Now their on their honeymoon
Her name was Mother Hubbard she kept whiskey in her cupboard
So her wings were made of spoons
They dated for a week and then married on the beach
But the wolf thought it was too soon
The three blind mice said it was all very nice so they moved up on the moon
They had a little girl, her name was Bo Peep
She was pretty, she was bright
She put on her red coat and went to see grandma
But disappeared in the night
Jack wouldn't eat fat, Hubbard wouldn't eat lean
So they got into a fight
Jack grew a beanstalk, big and green
So they climbed into the sky
Somewhere in the clouds they lost each other
When the cow jumped over the moon
But old Mother Hubbard found little Miss Muffet
Now their on their honeymoon
It lyrics - Cloud Cult
I was in the closet
Sucking on my medicine
Waiting for an answer
Praying for a savior
When suddenly I heard a voice
Singing in my back yard
I put on my yellow overcoat
You wouldn't believe what I saw
Oh, It!
I hid in the lilacs
And watched the figure dancing
But the dandelions saw me
You tattletales!
You tattletales!
Oh, It!
From another galaxy
Would you please take me
Cause everything here is confusing
Everything here is confusing
She gave me a piece of rhubarb
And left me in the backyard
She took a sparrow on her ship
I guess I wasn't ready for It
Sucking on my medicine
Waiting for an answer
Praying for a savior
When suddenly I heard a voice
Singing in my back yard
I put on my yellow overcoat
You wouldn't believe what I saw
Oh, It!
I hid in the lilacs
And watched the figure dancing
But the dandelions saw me
You tattletales!
You tattletales!
Oh, It!
From another galaxy
Would you please take me
Cause everything here is confusing
Everything here is confusing
She gave me a piece of rhubarb
And left me in the backyard
She took a sparrow on her ship
I guess I wasn't ready for It
Estupido lyrics - Cloud Cult
Techno Automaton, Latino Screamo.
To live inside Puck, el robotico, el natural.
Kissy-kiss at the very next table.
Lonely-lone is me (though I'm feeling quite able).
Fine cigarro - they nose rub - oh, oh.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
Millions of sperm to permeate your huevo.
Will he love your baby, or will he just go-go?
Why you love this dirty, dirty boy-male-ho?
I estupido 'cause I'll never really know, no.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
Mi robotico espiritu is in the ashtray.
But Rico Suave, male whore, is going to get laid.
When you're single momma, you better get paid.
I'll be living on the sun, singing "Hippy-hay-hay!"
Why you always gots to be pissing on me?
Why you always gots to be pissing on me, see?
He's the Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He's the Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He's the Gigilo with his tongue down your throat.
He's the Gigilo that's gonna leave you on your own.
To live inside Puck, el robotico, el natural.
Kissy-kiss at the very next table.
Lonely-lone is me (though I'm feeling quite able).
Fine cigarro - they nose rub - oh, oh.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
Millions of sperm to permeate your huevo.

He's the Gigilo with his serpent down your throat.
He's the Gigilo with his tongue down your throat.
He's the Gigilo that's gonna leave you on your own.
Radio Fodder lyrics - Cloud Cult
This song is written for you
You love that, and I hate it
It starts off so soft and sweet
You like that, do you like me?
(I'm gonna break it down, 'cause you like it rolling down here.)
Hey!
Like that funky, funky!
I can't write music
You hate it when I do it
You just want me to sound like
Every God damn man on the radio
This song is written for you
You like it, and I hate it
I can't breathe, I can't write
I can't live my life like this
It's gotten quieter
Cause you like that
In the third verse, keep it mellow
Cause you know you're building up for
The final chorus
It's our song written for you
You like it, I hate that
It's our song [x3]
I'm singing it different now!
I'm breaking it down!
You love it!
This is my song [x4]
Rock! Rock! Rock!
You love that, and I hate it
It starts off so soft and sweet
You like that, do you like me?
(I'm gonna break it down, 'cause you like it rolling down here.)
Hey!
Like that funky, funky!
I can't write music
You hate it when I do it
You just want me to sound like
Every God damn man on the radio
This song is written for you
You like it, and I hate it
I can't breathe, I can't write
I can't live my life like this
It's gotten quieter
Cause you like that
In the third verse, keep it mellow
Cause you know you're building up for

Man On The Moon lyrics - Cloud Cult
I was born on the back of the Man on The Moon
And my hands are made of wind, and my fingers made of spoons
I always feel like I am speaking too soon
And she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
her bod in the wind and the wind in my dreams
She gives me all the things I ever could need
Hey!
I was born on the back of the Man on the Moon
I had hands made of glass, and my fingers made of spoons
I always feel like I am speaking too soon
And my hands are made of wind, and my fingers made of spoons
I always feel like I am speaking too soon
And she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
her bod in the wind and the wind in my dreams
She gives me all the things I ever could need
Hey!
I was born on the back of the Man on the Moon
I had hands made of glass, and my fingers made of spoons
I always feel like I am speaking too soon
Took You For Granted lyrics - Cloud Cult
I could see all the universe inside you;
You had eyes made of candles,
And your body was a medicine bag
That all the world could heal from -
I couldn't help but be mystified by you.
And I'm living all alone,
With just a bag of burned bones,
And I don't even know if you can hear me.
And I'm only half a man without you, my friend,
Fuckin' A! fuckin' a! fuckin' a!
And I can't wait
Cause I really need
You to come back
You to come back
And I can't wait
Cause I really need
You to come back
You to come back
I took you for granted, but now I understand
I always thought you'd be there.
I can't help but say they've taken away the biggest thing I care for.
I live in the black; it's a simple fact:
I'm here but I'm not aware.
I took you for granted but now I understand
I always thought you'd be there.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
It's all that a movie
I love you for being
It's beautiful
you're perfect
you're everything
I love you
I can't see you there
I can't see you there
I can't see you there
I cannot see you there
You had eyes made of candles,
And your body was a medicine bag
That all the world could heal from -
I couldn't help but be mystified by you.
And I'm living all alone,
With just a bag of burned bones,
And I don't even know if you can hear me.
And I'm only half a man without you, my friend,
Fuckin' A! fuckin' a! fuckin' a!
And I can't wait
Cause I really need
You to come back
You to come back
And I can't wait
Cause I really need
You to come back
You to come back
I took you for granted, but now I understand
I always thought you'd be there.
I can't help but say they've taken away the biggest thing I care for.
I live in the black; it's a simple fact:
I'm here but I'm not aware.
I took you for granted but now I understand
I always thought you'd be there.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
It's all that a movie
I love you for being
It's beautiful
you're perfect
you're everything
I love you
I can't see you there
I can't see you there
I can't see you there
I cannot see you there
Toys In The Attic lyrics - Cloud Cult
Have I gone mad?
Have I gone crazy?
Toys in the Attic!
There's nobody home!
Would you all believe
I once had a baby?
And I was married;
Now I'm alone.
And I think that God speaks to me
In the seconds of the clock:
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tock.
And if you come and visit
I think you'll find a lunatic
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Have I gone mad?
Have I gone crazy?
Toys in the Attic!
There's nobody home!
Would you all believe
I once had a baby?
And I was married;
Now I'm alone.
And I think that God speaks to me
In the seconds of the clock:
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tock.
And if you come and visit
I think you'll find a lunatic
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Have I gone mad?

Best Friend lyrics - Cloud Cult
I can't hold on but I can't let go
So I just gotta hope that I can keep on holdin
I am your best friend
I can't give up but I can't get down
Gotta fake it til I make it; things'll turn around
And you are my best friend
And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
I'll take you on my side
I'll make you terrified, terrified, terrified.
And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
I can't hold on but I can't let go
So I just gotta hope that I can keep on holdin
I am your best friend
I can't give up but I can't get down
Gotta fake it til I make it; things'll turn around
And you are my best friend
And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
So I just gotta hope that I can keep on holdin
I am your best friend
I can't give up but I can't get down
Gotta fake it til I make it; things'll turn around
And you are my best friend
And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
I'll take you on my side
I'll make you terrified, terrified, terrified.
And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
I can't hold on but I can't let go
So I just gotta hope that I can keep on holdin
I am your best friend
I can't give up but I can't get down
Gotta fake it til I make it; things'll turn around
And you are my best friend
And every time I think I've finally found the truth
It transforms and shapeshifts
Start over again
Waitress lyrics - Cloud Cult
Entranced by the waitress's skin,
I imagine we'd have a small wedding
Let's do it next Sunday!
We'll move to Canada,
Start a family
Have a cow and a chicken.
I'll write you poetry.
I'll find you on a Saturday morning,
Making love to the farmer next door...
Guess I'd rather be lonely.
I imagine we'd have a small wedding
Let's do it next Sunday!
We'll move to Canada,
Start a family
Have a cow and a chicken.
I'll write you poetry.
I'll find you on a Saturday morning,
Making love to the farmer next door...
Guess I'd rather be lonely.
Back Again, Pt. 2 lyrics - Cloud Cult
Sometimes I dream about summer twenty years ago
Can I go back again?
And sometimes I wonder if I can go back to being eight years old
Can I go back again?
Sometimes the stars seem to be conscious of my memories
Can I go back again?
And sometimes I romanticize my memories
I'm just a machine but my memories will fill the universe
I won't come back again
Can I go back again?
And sometimes I wonder if I can go back to being eight years old
Can I go back again?
Sometimes the stars seem to be conscious of my memories
Can I go back again?
And sometimes I romanticize my memories
I'm just a machine but my memories will fill the universe
I won't come back again
Shortenin' Bread lyrics - Cloud Cult
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' bread!
Somewhere in the deer heard,
The Unicorn is waking,
Licking off its wounds,
And lifting its head.
Its horn is covered with wasps and flowers
It's puttin' away, but it's over my head!
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' bread!
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' bread!
Somewhere in the deer heard,
The Unicorn is waking,
Licking off its wounds,
And lifting its head.
Its horn is covered with wasps and flowers
It's puttin' away, but it's over my head!
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's got shortenin', shortenin' bread!
Three Times A Lady lyrics - Cloud Cult
Once, twice, three times a Lady
I'm sorry, I can't love you
I'm mashed potatoes and gravy
I'm sorry, I can't love you
I'm sorry, I can't love you
I'm mashed potatoes and gravy
I'm sorry, I can't love you
I'm Not Gone lyrics - Cloud Cult
I live my life with my back against the wall
I really cannot figure anything at all
I have run
I remember friends
I remember lovers
I remember fighters
I remember feeling like I couldn't get them all
I would swim against the river,
swim against the stream.
I'm not alive,
I am only in a dream.
I'm not gone.
I'm not gone.
You're all gone.
I'm not gone.
I really cannot figure anything at all
I have run
I remember friends
I remember lovers
I remember fighters
I remember feeling like I couldn't get them all
I would swim against the river,
swim against the stream.
I'm not alive,
I am only in a dream.
I'm not gone.
I'm not gone.
You're all gone.
I'm not gone.
Your Love Will Live Forever lyrics - Cloud Cult
Mist in the grass and sleep with the spirits
Release the pain, it won't do you any good
Suck in the pollen and breathe with the raccoons
Don't hide from your own secrets
You're made of river driftwood
So pull in all your anchors
They're waiting for you downstream
They're waiting for you downstream
Did you know God is far from perfect?
There really isn't any such thing
Cause it's the work of the ugly
That highlights the beautiful
And in so doing the ugly is beautiful too
You're made of water vapor
You're solid as a cloud
But wind cannot be predicted
This change cannot be predicted
Underneath your skin, there's two feathered wings
But you'll never use them 'cause you're too scared
When you get used to such a limited reality
You've got no choice but to unlearn
Start again
You change like a volcano
Your body's just a moment
But your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Release the pain, it won't do you any good
Suck in the pollen and breathe with the raccoons
Don't hide from your own secrets
You're made of river driftwood
So pull in all your anchors
They're waiting for you downstream
They're waiting for you downstream
Did you know God is far from perfect?
There really isn't any such thing
Cause it's the work of the ugly
That highlights the beautiful
And in so doing the ugly is beautiful too
You're made of water vapor
You're solid as a cloud
But wind cannot be predicted
This change cannot be predicted
Underneath your skin, there's two feathered wings
But you'll never use them 'cause you're too scared
When you get used to such a limited reality
You've got no choice but to unlearn
Start again
You change like a volcano
Your body's just a moment
But your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Your love will live forever
Sleeping Days, Pt. 2 lyrics - Cloud Cult
I hope you woke to fireworks
In the arms of a grass-deep wizard,
Cause I can't bear to think
That you are gone
Somewhere in my belly
My little boy is running
With unicorns and Elmo
In one of daddy's songs...
Good morning, Baby,
Why are you still sleeping?
You're a plastic boy on a plastic bed
Why didn't they take me instead?
And I like to think you're sleeping
In a safe little bluebird's nest;
And I'll protect your memories
With the dragons in my chest
Good night, Baby,
Daddy's going crazy!
I'm choking on my sleeping pills,
and hanging from the window sill.
And I like to think you're dressed up
In the beads that Momma made.
And will you be there waiting
When they take my skin away?
And I'm awake for sleeping days
I'm awake for sleeping days
In the arms of a grass-deep wizard,
Cause I can't bear to think
That you are gone
Somewhere in my belly
My little boy is running
With unicorns and Elmo
In one of daddy's songs...
Good morning, Baby,
Why are you still sleeping?
You're a plastic boy on a plastic bed
Why didn't they take me instead?
And I like to think you're sleeping
In a safe little bluebird's nest;
And I'll protect your memories
With the dragons in my chest
Good night, Baby,
Daddy's going crazy!
I'm choking on my sleeping pills,
and hanging from the window sill.
And I like to think you're dressed up
In the beads that Momma made.
And will you be there waiting
When they take my skin away?
And I'm awake for sleeping days
I'm awake for sleeping days
6 Days To Madness lyrics - Cloud Cult
"I want a Corvette!
I thought you would.
I want a Pontiac too!
Okay, we'll have the usual
two-car garage."
Compare the six days of the book of Genesis
To the four billion years of geologic time
On this scale, one day equals about 666 million years.
All day Monday, until Tuesday noon,
Creation was busy getting the Earth going.
Life began on Tuesday noon,
And the beautiful organic wholeness of it
developed over the next four days.
At 4 PM Saturday the big reptiles came;
Five hours later, when the redwoods appeared,
there were no more big reptiles.
At three minutes before midnight, man appeared.
At one-fourth of a second before midnight, Christ revolted.
At one-fortieth of a second before midnight, the Industrial Revolution began.
We are surrounded by people who think
that what we have been doing
for one-fortieth of a second
can go on indefinitely.
They are considered normal.
But they are Stark. Raving. Mad.
I thought you would.
I want a Pontiac too!
Okay, we'll have the usual
two-car garage."

I found god at the stroke of midnight with your tongue in my mouth, on New Year's Eve
I found god when I was twelve with my cousin, trying to get a buzz from shots of Lysterine.
I found god in a Dr.Suess book
I found god in a dirty magazine
I found god in the words of Steve Miller: I really your peaches, wanna shake your tree
I found god on a Wednesday afternoon, drinking boxed one and wishing you would call me
I found god in the middle of the woods, spitting at the stars and making love to a tree
I found god when I quit smoking cigarettes
I found god in a bag of weed
I found god in the back of my head: Too scared to even talk to you, but dreaming you would marry me
I could find god if I could taste you
I could find god if you'd lay down next to me
I could find god in your secret places
I could find god if you'd only talk to me
I found god in the back of my head: too scared to even talk to you, but dreaming you would marry me

Conception lyrics - Cloud Cult
I've been sleeping for a million years
I will never know what woke me up and brought me here
Please don't let go under again, under again
Please don't let me go
I've been taking too much for granted
I will never never kill myself again
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
Please don't let me go under again, under again
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go under again, under again
Please don't let me go
I will never know what woke me up and brought me here
Please don't let go under again, under again
Please don't let me go
I've been taking too much for granted
I will never never kill myself again
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
Please don't let me go under again, under again
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go under again, under again
Please don't let me go
Becoming One Of You / Ad Brainwash, Pt. 1 lyrics - Cloud Cult
When you were born, you were the earth
Uprooted and screaming
Your mind as clear as the ocean
You were ready to be carved
Now there's a lot to be learned
From those first words
Those first steps
Those first thoughts:
"Who am I?"
And "Do I belong?"
By third grade you start to feel like
Something's horribly wrong with you
You know you're all different
But you're taught to fit in
So you try to talk, breathe, dress, act
And think like the others:
"I would do anything
If you would let me be
One of you"
I just wanted to be
I just wanted to be
I just wanted to be one of you
And as we grew older , I watched you all pretend
To be the same person
Rarely standing for who you really are
Never living your own truth
And all the while, I kept on struggling
To fit in with you fuckers
After all, we're of the same earth
We're made of the same dirt
You say you're who you wanna be
But tell me, are you happy?
You finally fit in
But only as wheels in the machine
Now you're the ones ripping down
Rainforest trees
To know my heart to be dust
I watched you fuck your pretty little secretaries
Your pretty little secretaries
I just wanted to be
I just wanted to be
I just wanted to be one of you
To make one just like another
To make them all alike
(All... alike)
(All alike)
I never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be
Never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be one of you
I never wanted to be
Never wanted to be one of you
To make one just like another
To make them all alike
All alike
Just like one who's just like another
All alike (All alike, all alike, all alike...)
(All alike, all alike, all alike...)
"Mother, wouldn't it be slick if we had an electric ironer? Like Sally's mother has?"
"Of course it would. And I'm looking forward to having an electric dryer, too. Wee!"
"No matter what the job is, there are machines to take the hard work out of it."
"There's no trick to do the wash with this baby, and we can go right on playing cribbage."
"Automatic, eh?"
"Oh, you betcha."
Uprooted and screaming
Your mind as clear as the ocean

6 Days To Madness lyrics - Cloud Cult
"I want a Corvette!
I thought you would.
I want a Pontiac too!
Okay, we'll have the usual
two-car garage."
Compare the six days of the book of Genesis
To the four billion years of geologic time
On this scale, one day equals about 666 million years.
All day Monday, until Tuesday noon,
Creation was busy getting the Earth going.
Life began on Tuesday noon,
And the beautiful organic wholeness of it
developed over the next four days.
At 4 PM Saturday the big reptiles came;
Five hours later, when the redwoods appeared,
there were no more big reptiles.
At three minutes before midnight, man appeared.
At one-fourth of a second before midnight, Christ revolted.
At one-fortieth of a second before midnight, the Industrial Revolution began.
We are surrounded by people who think
that what we have been doing
for one-fortieth of a second
can go on indefinitely.
They are considered normal.
But they are Stark. Raving. Mad.
I thought you would.
I want a Pontiac too!
Okay, we'll have the usual
two-car garage."

Pretty (She Can Save You) lyrics - Cloud Cult
You're so pretty, would you stand beside me
You're so pretty, would you stand beside me
Maybe they will think I am beautiful like you
You're so pretty, would you lay down by me
You're so pretty, would you lay down by me
Maybe you could help me feel beautiful too
Maybe we could understand each other
Maybe we could finally feel in love
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could finally feel okay
You're so pretty, would you stand beside me
Maybe they will think I am beautiful like you
You're so pretty, would you lay down by me
You're so pretty, would you lay down by me
Maybe you could help me feel beautiful too
Maybe we could understand each other
Maybe we could finally feel in love
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could finally feel okay
Sane As Can Be lyrics - Cloud Cult
I guess you've been worrying about my mental stability
I may seem unusual, but there is really nothing wrong with me
I tell you my secrets, but you think that I'm boring
I tell you my secrets, but you make me feel like an idiot
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Your eyes glaze over when I tell you what I'm feeling
Do I scare you? Do I annoy you? Do I make you feel uncomfortable?
I tell you my secrets but I can't help feel stupid
I tell you my secrets but you make me feel a little crazy
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Giving up my philosophies for a six pack of beer and a bag of weed
Giving up my philosophies for a six pack of beer and a bag of weed
So don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
I've been sleeping for a million years
I will never know what woke me up and brought me here
I've been taking too much for granted
I will never kill myself again
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
I may seem unusual, but there is really nothing wrong with me
I tell you my secrets, but you think that I'm boring
I tell you my secrets, but you make me feel like an idiot
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Your eyes glaze over when I tell you what I'm feeling
Do I scare you? Do I annoy you? Do I make you feel uncomfortable?
I tell you my secrets but I can't help feel stupid
I tell you my secrets but you make me feel a little crazy
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
Giving up my philosophies for a six pack of beer and a bag of weed
Giving up my philosophies for a six pack of beer and a bag of weed
So don't worry about me, I'm as sane as can be
I've been sleeping for a million years
I will never know what woke me up and brought me here
I've been taking too much for granted
I will never kill myself again
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
I am a lucky one
Ready To Fight lyrics - Cloud Cult
I always thought that I was weaker than you
And I've all this anger I've been holding in
I've got the vengeance of sixty million buffalo inside my heart [?]
You can tear me down, but I will not give in
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
There's almost no one left to miss that's you [?]
Don't eat the bullshit of what's feeding you
I know it's hard to see how truly brainwashed you have all become
You can never make me into one of you
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
And I've all this anger I've been holding in
I've got the vengeance of sixty million buffalo inside my heart [?]
You can tear me down, but I will not give in
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
There's almost no one left to miss that's you [?]
Don't eat the bullshit of what's feeding you
I know it's hard to see how truly brainwashed you have all become
You can never make me into one of you
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
I'll spend my whole life fighting
I'm ready to fight
I'm ready to fight
Who Killed Puck? lyrics - Cloud Cult
It's the feel of the water as you're breathing it in
You're food for the fish so you will live again
It's the weight of your lungs when you're getting high
You'd spit it out but you'd really like to see the other side
It's the taste of her sweat when she was pulling you in
Like the mouth full of ocean that you're drowning in
And your bones, and your brains, and your skin
Are not as much yours as you thought they were
It's the ringing in your ears when you were feverish and sick
That's the sound of the other side so you better get used to it
It's the things that you see out of the corner of your eye
Everyone will tell you that it's nothing cause they've all gone blind
It's the feeling like you're falling when you first go to sleep
Like your soul's trying to separate but it can't quite break free
And your bones, and your brains, and your skin
Are not as much yours, as you thought they were
You can't come back again, back again
You can't come back again
It's your life flashing before you when you realize what you had
In retrospect it's beautiful but it's too late to go back
It's the light in the tunnel sucking you through
It's the deep regret of the things you never got to do
It's your last breath, your last luck, the end of the show
It's the spark in your eye when you finally let go
And your bones, and your brains, and your skin
Are not at much yours as you thought they were
You can't come back again, back again
You can't come back again, back again
Please don't let me go under again, under again
Please don't let me go under again, under again
You're food for the fish so you will live again
It's the weight of your lungs when you're getting high
You'd spit it out but you'd really like to see the other side
It's the taste of her sweat when she was pulling you in
Like the mouth full of ocean that you're drowning in
And your bones, and your brains, and your skin
Are not as much yours as you thought they were
It's the ringing in your ears when you were feverish and sick
That's the sound of the other side so you better get used to it
It's the things that you see out of the corner of your eye
Everyone will tell you that it's nothing cause they've all gone blind
It's the feeling like you're falling when you first go to sleep
Like your soul's trying to separate but it can't quite break free
And your bones, and your brains, and your skin
Are not as much yours, as you thought they were
You can't come back again, back again
You can't come back again
It's your life flashing before you when you realize what you had
In retrospect it's beautiful but it's too late to go back
It's the light in the tunnel sucking you through
It's the deep regret of the things you never got to do
It's your last breath, your last luck, the end of the show
It's the spark in your eye when you finally let go
And your bones, and your brains, and your skin
Are not at much yours as you thought they were
You can't come back again, back again
You can't come back again, back again
Please don't let me go under again, under again
Please don't let me go under again, under again
