Hello?

I awoke before dawn And I threw on some clothes I walked into the cold winter air The air dampened my lips And exploded in my lungs Just like a friendly firework And I started to feel less like a bag of warm fluid And more like a being of cool consciousness And I realized that this blood should stay in my veins Because why should I want to cause myself pain And I swam through the air Like a sturdy nylon kite And let the wind pull at my hair Then I filled up my lungs Like a car I need fuel And I breathed in all of these secrets Hello and goodbye They really mean the same It's the same movement of a hand The wave of a palm It speaks without pain Yet can perfectly pronounce our little names Now I realize this is something that won't be long So at least I know that you and me have this song No, this will not last Like the sand in a glass But eventually someone has to flip the sand Yes, eventually someone has to flip the sand
