Dragonflies & Astronauts

For heaven's sake oh what's it gonna take
for you to leave me to live my dreams
for heaven's sake I think I might just take
all of me and dream dream dream
they say in life that's the price you pay
but no one said how much I'd have to pay

Dragonflies and astronauts
think that I should've known better
than to splutter out silly little word
leaping frogs and airship portals
think that I should've known
better than to flutter out my silly little world

For crying out loud what's wrong with being proud
of who you are, you're a shining star
for crying out loud I think I love the sound
of your guitar, you've come so far
in life you get what you pay for
but somehow I just expected more

Dragonflies and astronauts
think that I should've known better
than to splutter out this silly melody
leaping frogs and airship portals
think that you should've known better
than to cry cry a felony

[they tell stories
they tell stories of lepricorns and dragons, witches, wizards, trolls and dungeons
fantasies and mysteries you proclaim
the real world is a lot scarier and there's always a price to pay]

Dragonflies and astronauts
leaping frogs and airship portals
splutter flutter silly billy boy
butterflies and hurricanes
penguins pelicans talking rubbish
splutter flutter silly billy boy
Dragonflies and astronauts
leaping frogs and airship portals
splutter flutter silly billy boy

you silly billy boy
you silly billy boy
