lyrics

I’m hanging down by a monkeys’ tail
Cutting out a cardboard self
As you kid-napped the conversation
Revealing the crack in our shell

Open the window
Drag the sky and ocean back to blue

Your story is as long as a 10-car train
Mine’s like a kid on a bike
I can’t wait to let it pass me by
& fade into the dead of night

Over the rainbow
My mind has gone with the cuckoo bird that’s flown
Open the window
& I’ll ask the wind directions of its’ own

I could swear you shrunk to small size dog
As you’ve really got something to bark
Justifying your place in it all
To hide your fear of the dark

It maybe a passing thing I know
But when ears are dead there’s nothing none can do
I'm gonna climb out this window
And skip this night and so tomorrow start anew
