Squid Machine

A machine to fly you to the stars A machine to save your heart from scars If you can draw me one Before these days are gone A machine to dry your eyes from tears A guiding light for you to fight your fears O, to build you one of those I'd pour in my heart, my soul When the waves all come And you know they will Cause they always do It would come for you Like you know I would When the waves all rise It would pick you up Lift your head up high It would stick with you Keep you safe inside But remember, people might just say it's strange That's because they won't believe What they'll see You better wave at them From high above the ground In your Giant Squid Machine And you'll be off forever more Octopus arms of stainless steel A rib cage filled with turning wheels A jumbled mess of wires Fuses, amplifiers Wings of tin, a lightning bolt A bent antenna, a telescope To keep an eye on you Like I wish I could When the waves all come And you bet they will I have seen them too It would come for you Like I wish I could When the waves all rise It would pick you up Lift your head up high It would stick with you Like I said I would But remember, people might just be afraid Of things they've never seen You better laugh at them From high above the clouds In your Giant Squid Machine And you'll be off forever more Hang on to what you know Hang on to what you're taught Hang on to how you feel Hang on to your beliefs Hang on to who you are I may seem so very far I will never let you go You will never be alone
