Pried the bezel off the clockwork
To have me a peak inside
All the gears were madly spinning
All the movements were unified
Then I was ticked and I was tocked
With wave upon relentless wave
I was knocked right off my feet
Like a whip on a galley slave
I can fly, I can fly, I can fly
I can fly, I can fly, I can fly
Up to a land beyond the sky
Fly away, fly away
Had me a crazy dream
I was back at my mom and dad's house
My bedroom was a vast dirt field
My sister she wore a yellowed blouse
There were roaches running 'round madly
And a changeling sat in grandpa’s chair
My mother was slowly drowning
Falling victim to mal de mer
And I went up, up, up
To a land beyond the sky
And golden light it called to me
Let us fly
What if I were a painter
Living in a box of paints
I’d color the world in Van Gogh ochre
And get down with the boondocks saints
I’d spread out my canvass
Till it touched every corner of the globe
Not too bad you must admit
For a devout agoraphobe
