Some of them were superstitious, sitting with their backs facing the orchard.All of them with mittens on their hands and feet were waiting there for winter.Thousands on the freeze, well I could never join them there.And we dare not bother, but couldn't help but holler "Yeah".There's no use in hiding the joy from the bright of sun.I could wait for Winter. Better if it never comes. Some of them were superstitious, watching them parade around the townsquare.Some of them were praising while they're cold and simply 'cause they don't know better.Someone to protect them, someone to keep track of them.No I don't believe them.

You're gone, you're gone.So soon, so soon, so long.But life, it hurts for someone.And you're someone. So soon, so soon, so long.And when you're gone, you're gone.But life, it hurts for someone.And you're someone. And you're someone. And you're someone...

He tried to escape once in a balloonHe tried to escape once in a balloonOn the foggiest day, he decided not to stayThe ground below held his life not long agoAnd through the fog, the ground, it disappeared He felt he had made it and starts to come downA crowd of people that followed were cheering loudBut then something went wrong and he couldn't get back in the airAnd when he landed just inside the gatesThe monocle men carried him away

And he sings when he mopsSeems to help him a lotWhere there's uneven stairsMr. Landlord is there Well, he mops all dayCan't get away too longAnd when he's throughThere's windows too Then Nellie comes to see himWith a straight face, she comes to see himAnd taking her favorite pen from her pocketShe writes it down, the things that she's found And he always, sometimes gets a little nervous'Cause he'd like for her to stay for a day Would you care for a drink"This is business", says sheTell me where are the ventsFor these apartments So they go upstairsTo inspect airThe air is goodIt's really good up there She's glad that he cares so muchAbout the safety of electrical outletsAnd taking her favorite pen from her pocketShe writes it down, the things that she's found And she always sometimes gets a little nervous'Cause she'd like to stay with him for a day

One gigantic heartJust refused to startAnd now that the world's behind meI'll lay here quite joyfully We went for a walkTo enjoy the dayDistracted by a bluebirdWe looked the other way Well both of themStruck both of usUpside the headIt made us deadAnd no one knew where we were Face up in a fieldFlowers at our heelsQuickly comfort finds usAnd takes us away from here Well both of themStruck both of usUpside the headIt made us deadAnd no one knew where we were
