When Pigs Fly

There is a monkey on my back
An apple in each eye
These dog days of summer heat
Keep barking up the wrong tree
I am a whiskered thing, curiosity killed me

Hey now, hey now
What's that they say about every cloud?
Let sleeping puppies sleep & bygones leave
Hey now, hey now
Mums the word, those two poor birds
I have a stone heart
An I’m better off alone heart & two wrong feet

When pigs fly when pigs fly I will
Tell you all the things I been neverminding all this time
When pigs fly when pigs fly I will
Uncross my fingers and promise you things I can keep

I been biting my tongue for too long
Been hiding my heart in a shoebox on the top shelf of my mouth
I loved you so loud
But no one was there when the tree fell
It was a science I knew all too well

I made my face into a wall
Whenever you came around
I rolled my eyes in public when they said your name aloud oh
You were a secret too big to hold in
I'm afloat on a raft that's leakin
& you are the sea
You’ve always been the sea

Hey now, hey now
What's that they say about every cloud?
Let sleeping puppies sleep & bygones leave
Hey now, hey now
Mums the word, those two poor birds
I have a stone heart
An I'm better off alone heart & two wrong feet

I can't believe in words anymore
This story is growing
My long nose is showing
Nobody in the knowing I am a whiskered thing
Curiosity killed me
Those two poor birds

I have a stone heart
And two wrong feet
