Do Impossible Things

We lay still in the grass

watching parakeets

flying in and out

of closed windows

And you said

It can't solve my problems

neither can I solve yours

we'll never be as beautiful

as the parakeets

in Istanbul

and we'll never be impossible

and do impossible things

now we hang out in

japanese gardens

collect shiny things

for our nest

we're just like blackbirds

the darkness painted to our chest

now our collections nearly finished

we've got bad-luck tokens,

diamond rings and goldteeth

and you say 'can't it get darker'

well now see your

shadow down beneath

and we'll never be as beautiful

as the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be impossible

like the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be as beautiful

as the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be impossible

like the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be as beautiful

as the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be impossible

like the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be as beautiful

as the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be impossible

like the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be as beautiful

as the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be impossible

like the parakeets in Istanbul

we'll never be as beautiful...
