One Day

One day

I'll take a bottle with a good strong base

And a cork that fits it

No label, no marker's mark

And I'll shout the bile and anger and plain disappointment in until I've almost filled it

And then I'll squeeze the cork down hard

I'll need a boat with a good strong sail

To weather all the storms and the gales

I'll grab the bottle, grip the rail and say my prayers

And then I'll throw that bottle out

Into the deep blue sea

And then I'll sail away

Yeah I'll throw that bottle out

So far it can't hurt me

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one day

One day

I'll take some canvas with a good strong seam

And a hot air burner

A basket, some sandbags and rope

And I'll float above the earth in my balloon of steam Drifting further and further

Over plains and mountain slopes

I'll fly 'til I find the deepest lake

A volcano about to awake

I'll grab that bottle by the neck and say my prayers

And then I'll hurt that bottle down

Into the deep ravine

I'll never hear it hit the ground

Yeah I'll hurt that bottle down, so far it can't hurt me

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one day

One day

I'll build a rocket with a thick blunt nose And a megatonne engine

A window to look at the moon

And I'll burn through the stratosphere with fire in my tail

A comet ascending

'Til I float in weightless gloom

I won't turn back 'til I see the lunar plains

The detail of the rugged terrain

I'll grab that bottle full of pain and say my prayers

And then I'll hurt that bottle down onto the arid sea

And then I'll fly away

Yeah I'll hurt that bottle down

So far it can't hurt me

One day, one day, one day
