Inspired by fragments of broken gla**
Makes it hard to walk along a straight and concrete path
To see things clearly to see you bathed in sunlight
Surprised meAnd there's a nail in your shoe and gla** in your feet
If ever there was a day to be true to yourself, this would be it
Those in the Third World, do they know what they're missing
Puff up your feathers, ‘cause you're ready for the parade
(chorus):
Emily, she's waiting
Up in her room, she's waiting for you
Emily, she's waiting
Up in her room, she's waiting for you
Designed by moonlight and the tip of a pen
An empty page, an empty bed, a straight and lonesome path
To see things clearly, to see you bathed in sunlight
Surprised me
And there will always be more than you ever imagined
And while swimming in red and yellow you had an epiphany
And the sky comes to meet you
And cradles you in white cotton clouds
(repeat chorus)
You walk through her maze and her flower gardens
But you couldn't find your way out
And the carpet beneath your feet may become soiled
But it's not too hard to clean
Puff up your feathers, you're ready for the parade
The floors have been shined you can see yourself there
No one will question
No one will question
No one will question
This grand affair
And there will always be more than you imagined
It's endless…
