lyrics

Throw me across the valley.
Throw me across the sea.
But throw me far away
if you truly mean to be rid of me.
Throw me extra high
and I’ll pretend to fly.
I could wear the sky
just like a coat and tie.
But I would rather die
than sit here by the side
while you ride.
I’ll find another reason.
I’ll find a sweeter dream.
And I can tell the difference now
between your twinkle and your evil gleam.
And I can tell the wall
to be there when I fall.
I can tell the air
to handle me with care.
I can tell the time
has come to pull a crime
on your dime. Your dime.
