lyrics

I watched you walk down the shoreline
Stumbling like a baby-boychild
Contrary to everyone's advice
You were swinging a bottle of cheap red wine around your head like some crazy bum
You were laughing and crying and falling all over the sand
You took one look at us, smiled and then ran in the sea
Where the waves overtook you then took you way off to one side
Where the rocks were so large but they didn't provide any shelter from the raging tide
God knows how you survived
But now you're a symbol of how we get by in this life

Farrago, every time I look at you I see the pain in your eyes
I feel the heat even when you're not standing next to me
You think that you can fool us wearing that old disguise
Open the cage
And fly away

You're a confused collection of things you dreamt as a kid
A random selection of ideas in a brown paper bag
A disastrous collision that you won't be able to walk away from, love
It's just a feeling, please tell me I'm wrong, but I think I'm right
Don't force yourself to put your life down in writing
Or take from the country, to take on the city like you're supposed to
I've seen your sad reflection as you fly blind
Directly into the sun
Pretending you're having fun like all the rest

But you'll never fool us
Wearing that old disguise
just open the cage and fly away
