Fairlies

Kindness is a trick to turn you strange

Until you're twisted and you're shining like a varicose vein

Anger makes you weak and turns you sick

And gets you in the six-feet nice and quick

No fair

They can talk to me

I can live alone

I can live alone

Happy

Where I like to be

I can live alone, alone, alone, alone

I fought

For the right to be

I can live alone

I can live alone

The fairies get their fingers and they spin your wheel

And they make you look at sunshine that your skin will never feel

Baby, do you miss the days before

Hope knocked on your door?

But you went and fell in love

And into you love fell

And it made you feel unwell

Oh well

There's a thing 'bout people I suppose is alright

It's when they smile right at their pain through all the day and night

The fool dies at the altar in a smile

Says, "I'm moving to America

You won't see me for a while"

If I get the ferry over, will the fairies follow me?

Will they throw me to the sea?

We'll see

No fair

They can follow me

I can live alone

I can live alone

Happy

Where I like to be

I can live alone, alone, alone, alone

I fought

For the right to be

I can live alone

I can live alone

When the devil takes your soul, he does not care

If you're shot down like a dog or expired on the stairs

The boat is drifting in

The weight is cast

How can life go so slowly and death come so fast?

Across the River Styx, I'll row along

But I've got one more song

More song

More song

More song
