I faltered on the edge of life
Coz I could never grow up to be a wife
And work in a bank 
And I don’t know who I can thank 
For the pinch that woke me up 
It shook me in my sleep with love
And I jumped out of the bed screaming with the fright
I didn’t realise that the night 
Was over 
And now that I’m older
I don’t have to mythologise 
All the lies 
That I told just to fit the form 
Of the shape that keeps the bodies warm 
In their comfortable hues
But I have come to sing the blues 
So that someone might know that I 
Found a way out of the thing that die
Lonely and old 
Or young and ancient and doing what it’s told 
In the aching pain 
I don’t think the rain 
Knows anything about the cloud 
Til the sky has let go all of its doubt 
And opens to a wide serene 
If you’re scared know that this life’s a dream
