The words that you're saying aren't true,
but they're close enough they'll do
damage no one sees.

I saw the future and then
I saw history again.
Looked the same to me.

We're wishful thinkers (x3)
but it's not gonna' help this time

Fish out of water, they say
"I don't like to drink anyway.
Thanks for helping me out."

I've seen twelve fishermen frowning.
They can't keep the poor ones from drowning,
can't keep the hungry ones fed.

What fools she'll think us (x3)
when she's pulling in the line.

Birds of a feather, it seems,
can't keep away from extremes,
and Daedalus lost his son.

We've got some wax-covered wings.
So busy flapping these things,
our worrying's left undone.

We're wishful thinkers (x3)
but it's not gonna' help this time.
