Dragonflies and Astronauts Lyrics by The Parlotones

Radiocontrolledrobot

2008

For heaven's sake, oh what's it gonna take
For you to leave me, to live my dreams
For heaven's sake, I think I might just take
All of me and dream, dream, dream
They say in life that's the price you pay
But no one said how much I'd have to pay
Dragonflies and astronauts
Think that I should've known better
Than to splutter out silly little words
Leaping frogs and airship portals
Think that I should've known
Better than to flutter out my silly little worlds
For crying out loud what's wrong with being proud
Of who you are, you're a shining star
For crying out loud I think I love the sound
Of your guitar, you've come so far
In life you get what you pay for
But somehow I just expected more
Dragonflies and astronauts
Think that I should've known better
Than to splutter out this silly melody
Leaping frogs and airship portals
Think that you should've known better
Than to cry, cry a felony
They tell stories
They tell stories of leprechaun and dragons, witches, wizards, trolls and dungeons
Fantasies and mysteries you proclaim
The real world is a lot scarier and there's always a price to pay
Dragonflies and astronauts
Leaping frogs and airship portals
Splutter flutter silly billy boy
Butterflies and hurricanes
Penguins pelicans talking rubbish
Splutter flutter silly billy boy
Dragonflies and astronauts
Leaping frogs and airship portals
Splutter flutter silly billy boy
You silly billy boy
You silly billy boy
