|
Running all around |
|
Looking at the things |
|
That I seem to see |
|
That are filling me with wonder |
|
And the other day |
|
When you were just a flower |
|
And there was a snowstorm |
|
Right inside the bedroom |
|
I became a bee |
|
You became a scarecrow |
|
And we had some trouble |
|
'Cause we took a light bulb |
|
Tried to turn it on |
|
To eliminate the clouds |
|
But it took the darkness |
|
And it made it double |
|
I looked up in the sun |
|
'Cause I thought I saw a light there |
|
Up in the air |
|
I know it was a rose |
|
Still it was a nightmare |
|
Up in the air |
|
Platinum rings |
|
Spinning in search |
|
Shadows on a sandpaper wall |
|
In a dust storm |
|
And I got a mothball |
|
Hanging from a candlewick |
|
And a pair of capsize |
|
And I got a nightstick |
|
Everywhere I look |
|
I think I see a shadow |
|
Everywhere I step |
|
Is looking like dumb luck |
|
If I had a wish |
|
I'd wish I was a caveman |
|
So I could fly like a goldfish in quicksand |
|
I looked up in the sun |
|
'Cause I thought I saw a light there |
|
Up in the air |
|
I know it was a rose |
|
Still it was a nightmare |
|
Up in the air |
|
Little black tinman |
|
A fist full of powder |
|
Melting like a sugartree |
|
Standing in a rainstorm |
|
If I had a lie |
|
I'd give it wings |
|
And if I had a wish |
|
I'd wish for everything |
|
I looked up in the sun |
|
'Cause I thought I saw a light there |
|
Up in the air |
|
I know it was a rose |
|
Still it was a nightmare |
|
Up in the air |
