lyrics

I could be a target
If I could feel my feet
I could be a wrecking ball
than no-one else can see
I could be a jet stream
bouncing complementary angles
off the outline of the leaves
Or I could be this tree if I was
still beyond belief
I could be an army raised on
solitude and peace
I could be this bluestone
cracking glass to cut my teeth
Or I could take this bottletop
and flick it from my fingers
just as far as I can see
Or I could put my mouth down
to the ground and try to breathe
I could be a recipe
Made up to my own taste
I could be a gutter so I could
channel all the waste
Til it’s floating all above me
I could go and buy a glue stick
and then paste it into place
Or I could bang my head til I get patterns on my face
And surely I could leave this here
and take a tiny break
I could stretch my legs out
so they don’t get out of shape
I could head off east with just
a matchstick and a compass and
a sense of my own weight
Or I could head for home because
this battery needs a shake
All is taken in because
The light came from one single source
The sun so far
And sometimes I imagine
when I see the stars at night
It’s only when I’m camping somewhere far from city light
That night time is a plastic dome
that moves with every one of us
One hundred metres high
With holes that act as tiny little starlit points in time
And all this does my head right in
It hurts my little mind
And this day’s gonna pass away
with pointlessness and rhyme
A mixture if I picked it to
could nourish me or kill me
and dissolve my little life
But surely I would never let
this happen, would I?
All is taken in because
The light came from one single source
All is taken in because
The light came from one single source
The sun so far away
