I've done too much of some things And not enough of others Just like all life lovers I've changed and changed and changed and changed From one thing to another I've had complicated dealings With complicated feelings And I've cut and bruised and torn I made blinds on the windows of my mind with the time that my back once wore I'm a single person in this universe And I am here to say to you: On the day that I die I'll just give a smile And fly into the blue
CHORUS (Cause we're all just) Protons, Neutrons, Electrons That rest on a Sunday Work on a Monday and someday soon We'll be singing the old tunes Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-doo I'll be sitting on the porch with you Then I'll die and I'll fly off into the blue
Some night I see the world with its winds and its whirls And I feel undefeated But every day I see the girl with the strawberry curl And I'm too shy to meet her Some nights I go to bed There's a ghost in the air above my head And I tremble Sometimes I eat KFC Other times I give up meat And I just eat lentils I'm a single soul on this big blue ball And I am here to sing a song About the day that I was born Till the day that I'll be gone And the song won't last for long
CHORUS
And enemy is a remedy to a malady in your melody If you're strong not brittle And a friend is a friend Is a friend to the end and it's oh so simple A man is a man and a woman is a woman But the times we are living in demand That a man can change from a man to a woman And a woman can demand to be a man We're just flesh with socks and locks and frocks And I am here to say to you On the day that I die I'll just give a smile And fly into the blue
