The Porpoise Song

The Church · A Box Of Birds [1999]

My, my, the clock in the sky is pounding away

There's so much to say

A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice

It cannot rejoice



Wanting to see, to know and to be crying to the sky

And the porpoise is waiting goodbye, goodbye



Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye



Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes

For the laughs is alright for a little while

The ego sings of castles and kings

And things that go with a life of style



Wanting to feel, to know what is real, living is a lie

And the porpoise is laughing goodbye, goodbye



Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
