I like you when I'm in the mood
As the crow flies I go too
Silver slivers in your eyes make it worth every lie
I ever told, they turn to gold
They kept me
They kept me here on this battlefield
I find out what you're all about, when I think to look around
I feel my toes curl half-way around the world
I'm sorry now
There's magic here and magic's weird
Look, this is you
Head in the clouds, feet underground,
And when you shake the dogs howl
I'm gonna live forever
Head in the clouds, feet underground,
And when you shake the dogs howl
I'm gonna live forever
Strange angels made this planet glow,
then kicked us out
I keep my nails dug into my half of the rug
I'm sorry now, I'm sorry now
You don't know how, look, this is you
Head in the clouds, feet underground,
And when you shake the dogs howl
I'm gonna live forever
Head underground, we'll hang around,
And when we shake the earth moves
We're gonna live forever
