you get the world for your birthday baby
open your eyes and say yes, no, maybe
the box ticks on, the core is a bomb
the world is silent
you listen like a lover to it

sometimes a mirror's a miracle
sometimes it's nothing at all
in this reflection even angels fall
you could fly anytime

ba-da-da-daa etc.
(even though you own your own comet)
ordinary people
it's okay
you don't have to wear those wings
they're stupid things

i know some dizzy, easy heights
don't stop your life at the lights
don't be smart, be a beginner
don't be wrong, even when it's right

ordinary people
it's okay
we're not watching anyway
it's okay

ba-da-da-daa etc.
