The Burden Of A Song

My bitterness is gleaming

My goodness is screaming

Are you feeling proud?

Are you really heading home?

So much for my goodness and my bitterness

So much for the burden of a song

Just give me the sound of something

And let me sing along

Please stand back and let me sing along

In my clean pullover

The great composer

But a consolation prize

Still you're batting your eyes

You want us to take flight

But you're standing in my light

So much for my goodness and my bitterness

So much for the burden of a song

Just give me the sound of something

And let me sing along

Let's fly away to the world

Let the impressive truth invade the strain

From everywhere to the future

From genitals to brain

And back again

Let's fly away to the field

Let the impressive truth invade the strain

We'll go from everywhere to the future

We'll puff it up, we'll fluff it up

My bitterness is gleaming

And my goodness is screaming

You want us to take flight

But you're standing in my light

So much for my goodness and my bitterness

So much for the burden of a song

Just give me the sound of something
