Old man
Standing on the window sill
When suddenly I see him
Flying away with my old hook
Neatly locked in the back
Of his flying cage
I know a little girl
Who's got blisters on her earlobes
I think that once too often
She has been sleeping in the zoo
With her head lying flat
On the lion's tail
Flying through the sky
With no thought of dying
If you let us go
Will it lead us home
Through the gates
To a world we've never seen
