Owel City Lyrics : All Things Bright and Beautiful
It was an other Adam young Songs and albums whch is tittled as all things are bright and beautiful:
KAMIKAZE
The princess in her flower bed
Pulled the jungle underground
Where cherry bombs stained the blackbirds red
And explosions never make a sound
Oh comet, come down
Kamikaze over me
And I come alive
My midnight melody
Oh comet, come down
My captain on a snowy horse
Is coming back to take me home
He’s coming back to take me home
I’m finally fighting back a terrible force
‘Cause I’m not afraid to die alone
Oh comet, come down
Kamikaze over me
And I come alive
My midnight melody
Oh comet, come down
Kamikaze over me
And I come alive
My midnight melody
Oh comet, come down
Oh comet, come
Oh comet, come down
Break down the open road
Maybe I’ll ride
And fight back the overtow
To save my life
Bring in the amber glow
Maybe I’ll fly
And go where you wanna go
With your eagle eye
Break down the open road
Maybe I’ll ride
And fight back the overthrow
To save my life
Bring in the amber glow
Maybe I’ll fly
And go where you wanna go
With your eagle eye
Eagle eye, eagle eye
Eagle eye, eagle eye
Eagle eye, eagle eye
Eagle eye, eagle eye
Eagle eye, eagle eye
Eagle eye, eagle eye

GALAXIES
Call back the cap-com,
Tick off the time-bomb,
Let felicity fly!
Armour the airlock,
Blanket the bedrock,
And kiss the planet goodbye!
Dear God, I was terribly lost,
When the galaxies crossed,
And the Sun went dark.
Dear God, You’re the only North Star,
I would follow this far.
Fight back the flight deck,
Bring on the breakneck,
Cue the solar eclipse!
Summit the sunset,
Dubtail the dragnet,
And blow your backbone to bits!
Dear God, I was terribly lost,
When the galaxies crossed,
And the Sun went dark.
Dear God, You’re the only North Star,
I would follow this far.
Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope,
Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road.
Hercules, you’ve got nothing to say to me,
‘Cause you’re not the blinding light that I need.
For He is the saving grace of the Galaxies!
He is the saving grace of the Galaxies

HONEY and THE BEE
Don’t remind me
That some days I’m the windshield
And other days I’m just a lucky bug
These cold iron rails
Leave old mossy trails
Through the countryside
The crow and the beanfield
are my best friends, but boy I need a hug
(Boy I need a hug)
‘Cause my heart stops without you
There’s something about you
That makes me feel alive
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get
wide
Who knew the other side could be so green
Don’t remind me
I’m a chickadee in love with the sky
But that’s clearly not a lot to crow about
‘Cause when the stars silhouette me
I’m scared they’ll forget me and flicker out
I taste honey but I haven’t seen the hive
Yeah, I didn’t look, I didn’t even try
But still my heart stops without you
There’s something about you
That makes me feel alive
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get
wide
Who knew the other side could be so green
We are honey and the bee
Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you like bees to honey
Let’s up and leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea
I swear!
There’s a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air
Yeah, I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
To be suddenly bloomed
And I knew that I’d always love you
Oh, I’ll always love you too
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get
wide
Who knew the other side could be so green
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get
wide
Who knew the other side could be so green
If I reached for your hand for the rest of my life
Who knew the other side could be so green

HOSPITAL FLOWERS
I survived a dreadful accident
In the car crash of the century
My shattered hopes collapsed on cold cement
But in the back of the ambulance
I’d never felt so content
A high speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render the scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency
I tossed and turned in sterile apathy
Until the violets arrived for me
The bouquet burst and blossoms filled the room
And the place got smaller as they grew taller
And taught me to bloom
A high speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render the scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency
The curtains decayed, the daylight poured in
I was never afraid of the darkness again
My burns were third degree, but I’d been set free
‘Cause grace had finally found its way to me
A high speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render the scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me, happiness returned to me
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency
Through a grave emergency
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency

ALIGATOR SKY
Alligator Sky lyrics
Songwriters: Shawn Chrystopher;Adam Young Lyrics
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead
I’m never lettin’ go, I’m never lettin’ go
That’s not a plane, that’s me
I’m sittin’ where I’m supposed to
Floatin’ on the cloud, can’t nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceilin’ is painted with cosmic spaces
Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
Blastin’ off like a rocket from the ground up
I used to catch a cab on the Monday
Now the taxi’s sellin’ lights on the runway, fly
Condo on The Milky Way
A house on the cloud and God’s my landlord
And for my rent all I pay is my drive
I got that, so if you need me
You can find me in the alligator sky
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead
I’m never lettin’ go, I’m never lettin’ go
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
I’m drownin’ in this starry serenade
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
My imagination’s takin’ me away
Reverie whispered in my ear
I’m scared to death that I’ll never be afraid
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
My imagination’s takin’ me away
Now I’ma dance like I never dance
Sing like I never sing, dream like I’ve never dreamed
Or try to, ’cause we’ve been lied to
That the sun is somethin’ that we can’t fly to
Well, I sit on my star and see street lights
Look up, ha, you’ll miss me if you blink twice
Imagination is hot and if you got it you can meet me
When you see me in the alligator sky
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead
I’m never lettin’ go, I’m never lettin’ go
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead
I’m never lettin’ go, I’m never lettin’ go
In the alligator sky
In the alligator sky
In the alligator sky
In the alligator sky

THE YACHT CLUB
My rock candy passion
Is bittersweet and onto the teeth
‘Cause she would rather fall in chocolate
Than fall in love, especially with me
I stood under the waterfall
With a Kiwi pineapple parasol
A Cinderella dropped a crystal ball
And made a concrete cavern
A caterpillar concert hall
I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever
In deep blue seas of paper-mache
Let’s dance in the moonlight
A barracuda chased our dog days away forever
Let’s sink or swim ’til we fall in love
And dance in the moonlight
When we join the yacht club
I would rather go swimming with great white sharks
Than wade in romance
‘Cause I can never find the courage
To ask her to dinner or even to dance
Let’s dance in the moonlight
Don’t sweat under your overcoat
‘Cause my heart can’t harbor this paddle boat
You’ll hit the bottom of the highest note
And the chatty tree frogs
Will never wanna leave your throat
I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever
In deep blue seas of paper-mache
Let’s dance in the moonlight
A barracuda chased our dog days away forever
Let’s sink or swim ’til we fall in love
And dance in the moonlight
When we join the yacht club
Let go of the world you know
And plug in the party lights
Soak your cares in the solar flares
That light up these island nights
Orange eclipse, I can taste your lips
In the citrus afternoon
If you can fly, don’t stop at the sky
‘Cause there’s footprints on the moon
It was you
I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever
In deep blue seas of paper-mache
Let’s dance in the moonlight
A barracuda chased our dog days away forever
Let’s sink or swim ’til we fall in love
And dance in the moonlight
When we join the yacht club
Let’s dance in the moonlight
When we join the yacht club

PLANET LIFE
I saw a ghost on the stairs
And sheets on the tables and chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so, I don’t know what to think
I’ve been longing for daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won’t feel dead anymore
So I won’t feel dead anymore
I saw a bear in the den
Reading my textbooks again
The bats flowed like traffic
As they poured from the attic
Heaven knows I could really use a friend
I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heart strings
Would you strum on mine?
I’ve been longing for daisies to push through the floor
I’ve never really felt like this before
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won’t feel dead anymore
So I won’t feel dead anymore
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
And give me a ghost of a smile
Show me your teeth ’cause you’re a teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it a while
Just grin and bear it a while
I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heart strings
Would you strum on mine?
The book babbles on about nothing at all
New leaf turns over, unwilling to fall
Tonight I’m busting out of this old haunted house
‘Cause I’m sick of waiting for
All those spider webs to grow all around me
‘Cause I don’t feel dead anymore
And I’m not afraid anymore
I’d rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heart strings
Would you strum on mine?
If I were to pluck on your heart strings
Would you strum on mine?

ANGELS
Wake me if you’re out there!
Through the glass in my bedroom window,
In the bushes far below,
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow,
Among the ones I so clearly know.
I’ve been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged,
With a note on the rocking chair,
That says I’m dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you’re out there.
Living close to the ground,
It’s seventh heaven because there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.
So wake me if you’re out there!
Wake me if you’re out there!
In the dust on my cellar staircase,
A pair of footprints followed me,
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace,
Blinked again, but there was nothing to see.
I’ve been leaving all the windows unlocked,
With a basket by the oak tree,
‘Cause I’ll be picking up the acorns that fall off,
If you’ll be climbing up to meet me.
Living close to the ground!
It’s seventh heaven because there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.
So wake me if you’re out there!
I keep my knees black and blue ’cause they often hit the hardwood floor,
(Wake me if you’re out there),
And I believe, so I’m not praying to the ceiling anymore,
And I’ve been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged,
With a note on the rocking chair that says I’m dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you’re out there.
Living close to the ground!
It’s seventh heaven ’cause there are angels all around,
Among my frivolous thoughts,
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts!
The indications reveal,
(Wake me if you’re out there),
That few of us realise life is quite so real,
So if you’re dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity!
So if you’re dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity.

THE REAL WORLD
I saw the autumn leaves
Peel up off the street
Take wing on the balmy breeze
And sweep you off your feet
And you blushed as they scooped you up
On sugar maple wings
To gaze down on the city below
Ablaze with wondrous things
Downy feathers kiss your face
And flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place
But I wouldn’t wanna live there
I wouldn’t wanna live there
Weighed down by heavy lids
And lunar lullabies
I knew you were wide awake
‘Cause you smile with your eyes
Downy feathers kiss your face
And flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place
But I wouldn’t wanna live there
From the green belt balcony
The wildfires look so pretty
Ponderosa canopy
I’d never leave if it were up to me
To the ruby redwood tree
And to the velvet climbing ivy
Painted all mahogany
I’d never leave if it were up to me
If it were up to me
With a starry brush
Paint the dusk venetian blue
‘Cause in the evening hush
You’ll never believe the view
And when the leaves return
And their whisperings fill the night
They’ll freeze and burn
Where fire and ice collide
Where fire and ice collide
Can you feel a silk embrace
In the satin air?
If we dissolve without a trace
Will the real world even care?
Downy feathers kiss your face
And flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place
But I wouldn’t wanna live there
I wouldn’t wanna live there
I saw the autumn leaves
Peel up off the street
Take wing on the balmy breeze
And sweep you off your feet
————————————————————————————————DEER IN THE HIGH LIGHT
Met a girl in the parking lot
And all I did was say hello
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home
But I guess that’s the way it goes
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you’re the deer in the headlights
Met a girl with a graceful charm
But when beauty met the beast he froze
Got the sense I was not her type
By the black eye and bloody nose
But I guess that’s the way it goes
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you’re the deer in the headlights
It’s suffocating to say
But the female mystique takes my breath away
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
Cause I’m trying to guess here
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
I’m sorry I ever tried (Deer in the headlights)
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn’t you know love could shine this bright
if life was a game, you would never play nice
if love was a beam, you’d be blind in both eyes
Put your sunglasses on
Cause you’re the deer in the headlights
You’re the deer in the headlights
You’re the deer in the headlights

DREAM DON’T TURN THE DUST
Splashdown in the silver screen,
Into a deep dramatic scene,
I swim through the theatre,
Or maybe I’m just a dreamer!
Like a kite in the bright midday,
Wonder stole my breath away,
Shy sonata for Mercury,
The stars always sing so pretty.
This picnic will soon depart,
Real life, I’m sad to see you go,
I’ll miss you with all my heart,
But I’d rather be alone.
‘Cause I couldn’t live without,
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I’ll drag the anchor up,
And rest assured, ’cause dreams don’t turn to dust!
Dreams don’t turn to dust.
I made for the countryside,
And my eyes never grew so wide,
Apple, raspberry, river blue,
I don’t wanna leave without you,
In the sound I’ll gladly drown,
Into the emerald underground,
And I rub my eyes ’cause it’s hard to see,
Surrounded by all this beauty.
This picnic will soon depart,
Real life, I’m sad to see you go,
I’ll miss you with all my heart,
But I’d rather be alone.
‘Cause I couldn’t live without,
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I’ll drag the anchor up,
And rest assured, ’cause dreams don’t turn to dust!
When tiger eyes begin making you blush!
When diamonds boast that they can’t be crushed,
Let ‘em go ’cause dreams don’t turn to dust!
This picnic will soon depart,
Real life, I’m sad to see you go,
I’ll miss you with all my heart,
But I’d rather be alone.
‘Cause I couldn’t live without,
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I’ll drag the anchor up,
And rest assured, ’cause dreams don’t turn to dust!
Dreams don’t turn to dust!
Dreams don’t turn to dust!
Rest assured, ’cause dreams don’t turn to dust.
