 Today, I  won't think of any sad  things.
 Will not think  of torture or  the rape of nature.
 Just today, I  won't touch those sickening  papers.
 Will just let  myself bet swept  away by this beautiful  day.
 ]
  What for, tell  me, tell me, what for?
  What for, tell  me, tell me, what for?
 The sunset  tonight  is beyond  all words.
 In the sky  above the square,  startling spirals  dancing on air.
 I will pass  through the glass into  air past those birds.
 In the square,  I am sun, I  am sky in my mind's  eye.
 Today, I  will dive into foaming  seas.
 Sick fish  myself  and some strange  debris.
I  would prefer to be anywhere  away  from here  (4x)
 I will pass  through the glass into  air past those birds.
 In the square,  I am sun,  I am sky.
