Lyrics
Both of us see a cloud Or whatever we may believe Being it may be proud Or whatever we want to see OK, jump Cirrus in [Cumulus] light [dark] you lie [vow] Give us varying [colorful] shades of grey Floating inside [outside] the sky Show us everything [nothing] everyday [in any way] OK, jump to end it all Let this one be to break the fall It's a little bit of magic to end the world [But I thought you knew me truly?] Something different than we started with in the world [Does it even matter to me?] I was in the hearing Bumming a humble clearing from Caligula In his Shangri-La La La It's a little bit of magic to end the world [But I thought you knew me truly?] Something different than we started with in the world [Does it even matter to me?] Miracle worker I saw you begin it Walking the water [so soft on the rain] See what you see in the surface [a limit] Ladies and gentlemen, please Why don't we keep it coming back And coming back And coming back Why don't we keep it coming back And coming back [Join if you wish] Keep it coming back And coming back And coming back Why don't we keep it coming back And coming back We've been to this scene [These days it's hard to find friends] Aboriginal meme [But opportunities bend] Had a smotherful mother full of meddle and steam [And we spend the chance sleeping on the top of the fence] Can't believe what we've seen Won't be burned to the ground Though we make ourselves castles Every tide we're around Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? (It's a little bit of magic to end the world) Do you like how my face has learned to tick like a clock? [But I thought you knew me truly] I have a wonderful life, I know a powerful Bob (Something different than we started with in the world) He eulogizes me for being geocentric (ha ha ha ha!) [Does it even matter to me?] Keep it coming back And coming back And coming back Why don't we keep it coming back And coming back And coming back And coming
