Lyrics

Get your sweets from the candyman Get your truth from the shelf Don't buy into the fairytale Just be good to yourself 'Cause you know that I love you, girl You're my way out of hell But I've just one more song to sing One more story to tell When I'm tired of the bright lights When I'm tired of the wine I'll go down to Wheal Mexico To the depths of the mind When I'm forty years older When I'm wrinkled and wise I will trade all my liberty For that look in your eyes Reason gonna bind you Cripple and confine you Listen as your poor heart breaks Take a trip to America Let the wind blow right through your hair We'll buy beer and some hope to share Every day 'Cause freedom is no small thing We punish the child for flying too high For rushing like the wind Reason gonna bind you Cripple and confine you Listen as your poor heart breaks (Stars are like diamonds) (We fly across the sky for them) (No one's gonna change who we are) 'Cause freedom is no small thing We punish the child for flying too high For rushing like the wind
