Ian Brown: "Bubbles" Lyrics

Mercy mountain crevices hold treasures buried deep

A blizzard or rain can't wash any memories that you keep

I just came in on a banana boat, got born only yesterday

Came down through the stars, I landed from Mars

Make my way through the Milky Way



Last night I saw you metamorphasize and chrysalis into a butterfly

You opened your wings, such beautiful things and then I saw you fly away so high

A birds eye view onto the stratosphere, all the universe reflected in your eyes

I came to despise, your see-through disguise, your web of lies, and all the empty words you say



I see you like a bubble in the air

And bubbles can rise

But pop when they reach the top

I see you like a bubble in the air

And bubbles can rise



Last night I saw you change inside and chrysalis into a butterfly

You open your wings, such beautiful things and then I watched you fly away to die

I just came in on the banana boat, got born only yesterday

Came down through the stars, I landed from Mars, made my way through the Milky Way



I see you like a bubble in the air

And bubbles can rise

But pop when you reach the top

I see you like a bubble in the air

And bubbles can rise

But pop when they reach the top
