Divine Comedy - Don't Look Down Lyrics
Birds and planes goThrough the rainbowEvery day thoughYou simply refuseOld-fashioned ferris wheelsAre no big dealTheyre just big wheels with chairsSo dont be scaredJust set yourself freeShe tells me its alrightTo open up my eyesShe holds onto my handAnd the clouds float byThe couple in the car belowThey wave to us and say helloI think they understandThe way were feelingI dont need to say i love youWhen were floatingSo far up aboveEveryone elses livesAre intertwinedWith yours and mineI hopeThey find the joyThat we have foundShe tells me its alrightTo open up my eyesShe holds onto my handAnd the clouds race byThe couple in the car aboveI suppose they thinkThat were in loveI think they might be rightAnd without warning when were almost at the topThe wheel that turns us all comes to a sudden stop.The wind thats blown us dies a quick and painless deathThe air gets clammy and we hold each others breathWe get the feeling that were not alone in thisAnd then a God who really ought not to existSticks out a great big handAnd grabs me by the wristAnd asks me why? and I sayWell god, its like thisIt may be arroganceOr just appalling tasteBut Id rather use my pain than let it all go to wasteOn some old God who tells me what I want to hearAs if I cannot tell obedience from fearI want to take my pleasures where and how I will,Be they disgraceful or distasteful or distilledAnd to be frank I find that life has more appealWithout a driver whos asleep behind the wheelThen God decides that he has taken quite enoughOf all this atheistic tosh Im spouting offAnd so he calls upon his favourite angel choirTo sing of times when men were filled with christian fireBut over-zealous angels flap their wings too fastAnd cause the wind to blow and turn the wheel at lastAnd soon my feet are safely back on solid groundAnd then I hear a voice sayDont look down!.
