lyrics

I was in debt to a muse
and it was such a pretty thing
but i was bemused at my debt
in the silence without seeing

and the weeks couldn't compare
to all the days and days
stay here long enough
you're bound to float away

the luckless losing ones that stand on their own
the luckiest people could fall without knowing

so why don't you just hold on tight to what you wouldn't want to chase
because all those pretty birds - they've got wings to fly away
or you could just let it go, & chalk it up to older age
and you just felt so solid & upstanding in your ways

but we all got immaterial & we got strange
and all these weeks could not compare to days & days & days & days etc.

so high in the air, after weeks & weeks of days
the trees are overgrown & the birds have flown away

the luckless losing ones still linger on their own
the luckiest people they could fall without knowing
