This Flamingo

This flamingo doesn't love you
And this flamingo's miles above you now
She spread her wings yesterday
And she's been in your shade for too long to be swayed
And this flamingo isn't falling
'Cause that flamingo isn't calling 'round
There's seventeen reasons why
And the first sixteen are because she can fly

So follow her up
Over the clouds
And on till the sunset
Swallows her up
In a burst of light

This flamingo
This flamingo
This flamingo's going away

This flamingo's gone away now
This flamingo wouldn't play for time
She couldn't face hanging on
And she'd never stay where she didn't belong
And this flamingo is awoken
And this flamingo can't be broken now
She's stronger than anyone
Worth more than the sum of the things that you've done

So follow her up
Over the clouds
And on till the sunset
Swallows her up
In a burst of light

This flamingo
This flamingo
This flamingo's going away

So follow her up
Over the clouds
And on till the sunset
Swallows her up
In a burst of light
