lyrics

I invented the color black, on my birthday
People wanted a stronger grey. I hope they're happy
I can swim in outer space, it's hard to breath there
I tied a rope around the moon, and pulled it closer

If I could do one thing that mattered, I would try for two
If I had three things I was good at, I could be almost like you

I once knew a happy clown, he was scary
When the frown turns up side down...see the movie
Cotton candy is never brown, that's a fact jack !
When the moon tries to pull you down, cut the rope and say goodbye

If I could say one thing that mattered, I would have hope for two
When I know three words that tame horses, I will be much more like you

I have lived inside the sun, it's hard to breath there
Friends don't visit, they just drive by, wrapped in tin foil
I'd rather see them dressed in black, on my birthday
They'd tie a rope around the sun, and pull me closer

If I can feel one care for others, there will soon be two
When three of us learn to make music, I will keep singing to you
