Drastic Fantastic

I slipped softly through
Your slim fingers
Leaving traces
I embrace this
feeling that lingers
All that lingers... that lingers

So take me far away!
And hold me close to your heart
And do me just this little favour
For I do, yes I do love you.

The silence, it's easy
so peacefully
Like the skin upon your body.

So take me far away!
And hold me close to your heart
And do me just this little favour
For I do, yes I do love you!

This little universe between us
so beautiful and colourful
I lean on now.

White bird with a black tail
Eyes dark and face so pale
Do you know what your future holds
Over your side of the road

White bird with a black tail
Look like an open sail
Made me look up from my shoes
To show me what you stand to lose

White bird White bird
With your face so pale
White bird White Bird
Where’d you get that tail
White Bird White Bird
With a black tail

White feathers dipped in tar
It’s hard to tell how old you are
Wondering how much you know
About all of us below

Half of you is heavenly
Showing off your purity
The rest you is from the street
Like a line where they both meet

White bird White bird
With your face so pale
White bird White Bird
Where’d you get that tail
White Bird White Bird
With a your face so pale
White Bird White Bird
With a black tail

Locked inside your head
Do you realize the things you said never made sense?
We can sit here and laugh
But we don't know the half of it, in your defense
We've been talking a while
And it seems to me each time you smile,
Lights are coming on
But they don't burn too strong
And they won't stay for long
And then they're gone again

Funnyman, gotta plan to be something wonderful
Funnyman, listening to the world turning on itself
Tuning into a brand new universe

Funnyman, you'll never be anything else

Do you remember the night
When I had to play your angel, saving your soul?
Even though you were holding on tight
Part of you was taken by your demons below
And with no more to lose
You said you feel like a bruise on a beautiful body
And all the damage you do
It is so honest and true...I don't want to feel sorry for you

Funnyman, gotta plan to be something wonderful
Funnyman, listening to the world turning on itself
Tuning into a brand new universe
Funnyman, you'll never be anything else

Say you, to me you're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searching the land for a hero of a man
You say I need more than my fair share of attention
But I think you know that just isn't so
Oh underneath I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearing me apart right from the very start
And now I see that it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong so long you'll see

Hold On to what you been given' lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you been given' lately
Hold on cuz the world will turn if you're ready or not

Simplicity a heart of gold, an old head on young shoulders
Quiet and lovely becoming part of me
And now I see for my handfull of names and a thousand faces
One light burning fiercely

I was tired of January I was tired of June
I felt a change a comin'
Wooahh oh ohh tired of January tired of June
I felt a change a comin'
Wooahh oh ohh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I felt a change a comin'
I felt a change a comin'
Felt a change a comin' soooon woh oh ohhhh

Hold On to what you been given' lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you been given' lately
Hold on cuz the world will turn if you're ready or not
Wooahh oh ohh
Hold On to what you been given' lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you been given' lately
Hold on cuz the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh yeah
Well the world will turn, if you're ready or not
WOAH HOHHHH
Yes the world will turn if you're ready or not!

Think it’s time to put myself away
Seek out a little silence
Close the door and sit a while
And walk a little

As I put my words away
The flow slows
See this penny in a stream
Picking it up is easy

Follow the shape of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump in

Even though I know my way around
Possibly there’s something new I’ve found
Holding on for finding solid ground
Someday Soon

I’m gonna turn myself into the grass
And I’ll grow
Take this space above my head
And live in it a little

Wear my feather headdress
Like an Indian chief
Gonna stretch out both my arms
I’m gonna test the temperature

Follow the taste of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump in

Even though I know my way around
Possibly there’s something new I’ve found
Holding on for finding solid ground
Someday Soon

Well this stone that I have swallowed
Isn’t going down so well
And this road that I have followed
Is leading me to hell

And you said it didn’t matter
But I think you’re a liar
Is this one of your talents
That stokes the very

Fire that burns you
Each time you try to live
The earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give

And when I build you a steeple
You say it’s incomplete
Cos you need the whole cathedral
To satisfy your need

You’re like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the

Hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live
The earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give

Something has to give
