lyrics

Oranges turn black when they have found their falling.
Ocelots are gentle and birds are still stalling.
Ogres go blind and follow callings.
No one gives a damn.
Here lies their treasure and a hundred pollings;
they wear out words weak with bolding.
I heard the worst ones are still holding them far too close to fly.
We're far too close to fly.

Feeling too close to fly on our own.
Feeling too fast, feeling up the phone.
Feeling too close to fly or stay stoned.
Oh my gosh, our grown bones ...

They saw me failing and fought a different war;
I took guns and gauze galore,
and I found my midwife there and gladly amused her sores.
I'm feeling mighty fine, I'm feeling mighty fine.

I'm feeling mighty fine now that my new heart reeks of turpentine.
I'm feeling mighty fine; I still can't fly ...

She took her bags and caimans, made a tiny house.
She made a picture book with poppies and a blouse.
I shook my sharings out and pouted an ounce's worth
and went to bed and went to bed and went to bed.

We feel alright now that they don't sing,
but we still can't see the house with pretty things.
We feel alright now that light is screaming,
but we still can't see ...
we still can't see, we still can't see, we still can't see.
We still can't see, we still can't see, we still can't see.

I'm feeling mighty fine, I'm feeling mighty fine, I'm feeling mighty fine.
I'm feeling mighty fine, I'm feeling mighty fine, I'm feeling mighty fine.
