Jonathan Segel - Remember How To Fly Lyrics

Rabbits flying across a field at dawn,
I'm out and riding, I've got all my raingear on
It's never seemed like such a long way to turn to go back home
Sleeping dogs lying underneath the table,
We're playing poker and the stakes are real
I can't believe I've never seen what I'm seeing now

And nobody knows what's all the fuss
And no-one knows who else to trust
It's never been this way, it just looked like it yesterday
We never saw the end, we only had to pretend that it was real

What fun it is to sing a meaningless song
Everybody understands and wants to come along
They never saw before what they knew for sure
It's so unreal
The c in c's face melts away to bone
The white house decays into the burnt shack that it's built upon
Everyone just goes on as if it's all part of the show

Do I remember how to fly?
I used to do it as a child, just swimming through the air, but then
I feel like if I tried it now I'd fall flat on my face again

The world is rotting, its stench carries it along
The drugs they feed us let us see it how we want
When it's all decayed, we'll think we have it made
We'll keep good spirits and cheerfully approach our death
