A Cannon Lyrics

A cannon was fired by the light of the moon I'm waiting, the boat should be here very soon And I mind less and less all the silly pictures that hang round my room, for now I write you a letter I hope you feel better I hope you forgive the transgretions I've given you love And i've given you anger as well And I meant them both I always knew it was coming this way Was coming this way I always knew a big boat would come and take me away Take me away I stood on my bed Then I slipped in my dress Then I ran through the halls Like a ghost And in case someone heard me I grabbed the big dagger that I'd never use Unless Barefeet on the cobblestones street Then a peach Then a splash Then my ankles My knees Then my thighs And my eyes open-wide I threw myself right into the sea And I could see it was coming my way Was coming my way I always knew a big boat would come and take me away Take me away Take me away I've woken up once And I've twice And I've woken up millions and millions of times Somebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water Somebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water I would if I could But I can't so I don't My heart breaks too easy My words get all jumbled And when I wear lipstick Then no-one understands me at all They think I'm saying hello and goodbye Hello and goodbye What I'm really saying is (whispering) They think I'm saying hello and goodbye Hello and goodbye and hello What I'm really saying is (whispering) I've woken up once And i've woken twice And i've woken up millions and millions of times
