Priest with Balloons Lyrics by Tiny Ruins

Some Were Meant for Sea

2011

Not regular party size
Waves crash on either side
He's wearing polypropylene
Clutching at straws, holding on to string
What was he looking for
Truth, or was it Heaven?
Or did he just want to go out with a bang
So to speak?
He's put his helmet on
Steps out floats on into the sky
Goodbye!
It's funny, but I can understand why
I want to live where the traffic controllers are ballet dancers
And billboards painted over with colours
Where unkindness is fined in numbers of roses
And nobody feels like taking the commons
Nobody feels like taking the commons
While some were meant for sea, in tug-boats
'Round the shore's knee milling with the sand
And always coming back to land
For others, up above is all they care to think of
Up there with the birds and clouds, and words don't follow
There are times when I sit down to tea
Some well-meaning companion will ask me
'How is it going with everything?'
Quite nicely, but I wanna live
Where the traffic controllers are ballet dancers
And billboards painted over with colours
Where unkindness is fined in numbers of roses
And nobody feels like taking the commons
Nobody feels like taking the commons
Nobody feels like taking the commons
'Though time has soldiered on
I still think upon him;
Waging with the sky, he's crying Goodbye!
What was he looking for -
Truth or was it Heaven?
Or did he just want to go out with a bang
So to speak?
