The Parlotones - Dragonflies and Astronauts Lyrics

For heaven's sakes, oh what's it gonna take
For you to leave me to live my dreams?
For heaven's sakes 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 world

For crying out loud, what's wrong with being proud?
Of who you are, your 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 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 leprechauns 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
Chameleons and seared assumptions
Copy cats, talking parrots
Splutter flutter silly billy boy
And 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

Silly billy boy
Silly billy boy
