[00:13.670]I know change is a bad thing,
[00:17.610]Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
[00:20.560]Not some iridescent grateful butterfly.
[00:26.070]I'll resist with defiance,
[00:29.440]Not the valor of a mystic silence,
[00:32.710]I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye.
[00:38.030]
[00:38.910]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[00:44.690]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[00:50.250]
[00:51.120]Please don't say you don't love me,
[00:54.530]Never dangle any sword above me,
[00:57.720]With the kind of change that severs me in two.
[01:03.380]Give me amberizing glasses.
[01:06.810]Could you slow it down like molasses,
[01:10.160]As I salvage my old self away from you.
[01:15.180]
[01:16.080]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[01:21.950]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[01:28.510]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[01:33.800]
[01:34.700]Because I have seen insane things,
[01:37.900]All those grand, historic paintings.
[01:41.250]Morning light on polished swords and burnished pride.
[01:47.220]Anxious smiles encased in whalebone,
[01:51.050]Spines of steel from head to tailbone,
[01:53.670]Cannons poised to blast the turning of the tide.
[01:59.270]
[02:00.070]It's a sad and a strange thing.
[02:03.580]But it's time and I am changing.
[02:06.450]Into something good or bad, well that's your guess.
[02:11.800]I'm my own sovereign nation,
[02:15.350]Dedicated to a transformation,
[02:18.620]Marching on with this target on my chest, oh yes,
[02:25.240]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[02:30.510]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[02:36.800]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[02:43.520]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[02:49.230]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[02:55.950]And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.
[03:01.790]
