Cosmic Birds - Manatees lyrics

rate me

When I saw the wee beetle breathing in paralyserThe paralyser keeping it on its backIt was the first time I would feel itHow the world is always bleeding and the memories run dryI don’t need any hope so now I’m handing it overHanding it over to the weak and the damnedBecause despite the stormy weather you do know it’s now or neverThere's don't need to weep cause you knowI’ll be with you thereWhen you are out in the rain at least you know you’re aliveThe water’s wet but it’s fineYour eyeballs will not get too dryAnd somedayThe rain may turn into sea, we'd sail away to the brightThe weight would be lighter than lightAnd we'd sing with the manateesDum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh ohDum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh ohThen I saw all the ponys going round in the fairgroundGoing in circles with their eyes covered upTheir head down like prostitutes who have got nothing left to loseInsensitivity delightI’m not going to tell you that it’s gonna get betterSometimes it doesn’t and the ponys know thatBut start to wake up from your slumber cause we’ll never be much youngerThan we are today and you knowI’ll stay with you thereWhen you are out in the rain at least you know you’re aliveThe water’s wet but it’s fineYour eyeballs will not get too dryAnd somedayThe rain may turn into sea, we'd sail away to the brightThe weight would be lighter than lightAnd we'd sing with the manateesDum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh ohDum da da dum dum da da da dum dum dum da da da da oh oh ohI’m not going to tell you that it’s gonna get betterSometimes it doesn’t and the ponys know thatBut start to wake up from your slumber cause we’ll never be much youngerThan we are today
