lyrics

flight is a beautiful word
flowered with consonance
that’s what i'll followed 
forever


i am a beautiful bird
fluttered and floating
swollen and hollowed
for heaven


do what you want with me
lost in your captivity
learning capacity
for make believing everything
is really hanging on 


slipping away from the party
totally vacant
everyone gone from their bodies


you were outside kissing another
she was a friend of mine
i was surprised to discover


i wrapped my arms around her
she was a beautiful figure
there are no enemies
we’re make believing everything
is really hanging on


there is a castle that stands 
high in the canyon
the blue knights are crying together


a Child is holding my hand
she is directing, the red crystal pine with a feather


do what you want with me
lost in your captivity
learning capacity
for make believing everything
is really hanging on
really hanging on
really hanging on
