lyrics

To harness the sun
and spread like the stars.
Deliver the gun
and getaway cars…
Your heart’s in a sling.
The world’s on a string.
And yet, there you are…
afraid to sing?

A song to be sung
that will never be heard
is a book without words.
It’s nothing for no one…
It’s only a blanket
thrown on a bird.

You harness the sun
and scatter like stars.
So give someone something,
a gun or a car.
Your heart’s in a sling.
The world’s on a string.
It’s three in the morning
and nothing, so far?

A song to be sung
that will never be heard
is a book without words.
It’s nothing for no one…
It’s only a blanket
thrown on a bird.

Go with her, go with her.
What are you waiting for?.......
