Dragonfly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dragonfly in a tidal wave -- (Dragonfly in a tidal wave --)
Isles have come undone. (Isles have come undone.)
Still the coastline's a mile away, (Still the coastline's a mile away,)
And the storm's just begun. (And the storm's just begun.)
"Here goes nothin'," ("Here goes nothin',")
Heard him sayin' (Heard him sayin')
As he buzzed away. (As he buzzed away.)
Dragonfly sees the tops of the trees (Dragonfly sees the tops of the trees)
From the C-130 door. (From the C-130 door.)
Flips a bird, puts his knees in the breeze, (Flips a bird, puts his knees in the breeze,)
And floats down to the war. (And floats down to the war.)
"Here goes nothin'," ("Here goes nothin',")
Heard him sayin' (Heard him sayin')
As he dropped away. (As he dropped away.)
"Here goes nothin'." ("Here goes nothin'.")
Comin' down, (Comin' down,)
Hardly makes a sound.
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
Cover it up, cover it up. (Cover it up, cover it up.)
"Here goes nothin'." ("Here goes nothin'.")
Holy Roller (Holy Roller)
Finally blew a fuse. (Finally blew a fuse.)
"Here goes nothin'." ("Here goes nothin'.")
Read all about it (Read all about it)
In the front page news. (In the front page news.)
Dragonfly makes a crown of thorns (thorns)
For a Saviour yet to come.
Still alive, but his wings are torn (Still alive, but his wings are torn)
And his conscience has gone numb. (And his conscience has gone numb.)
