lyrics

today i saw the most peculiar thing
a great splash of white against a backdrop of pink
it was a winged narwhal flying just above the sea
and when i looked up i could see it was smiling contentedly

i laid down and smiled as i watched it soar
such a captivating sight; i'd never seen anything like it before
its enormous white wings were perfectly aligned
and its elegant horn pierced parts of my mind that had never been touched

and it woke me up

it had been so long since i'd breathed the morning air
it had been so long since i'd been conscious enough to care
and i thought to myself as i looked up at the sky,
"if a fat white water dwelling mammal can fly,

then why can't i?"
