Variations on a Cloud (Extended Version)

[Verse 1]

Both of us see a cloud or whatever we may believe

Being it may be proud or whatever we want to see

Okay, jump

[Verse 2]

Cirrus in (cumulus) light (dark) you lie (vow)

Give us varying (colorful) shades of grey

Floating inside (outside) the sky

Show us everything (nothing) everyday (in any way)

[Pre-Chorus]

Okay, jump to end it all

Let this one be to break the fall

[Chorus]

It's a little bit of magic to end the world

But I thought you knew me truly

Something different than we started with in the world

Does it even mattеr to me?

[Verse 3]

I was in the hearing

Bumming a humblе clearing from Caligula

In his Shangri-La La La

[Chorus]

It's a little bit of magic to end the world

But I thought you knew me truly

Something different than we started with in the world

Does it even matter to me?

[Post-Chorus]

Miracle worker, I saw you begin it

Walking the water, so soft on the rain

See what you see in the surface, a limit

Ladies and gentlemen, please

[Refrain]

Why don't we keep it coming back

And coming back, and coming back

Why don't we keep it coming back

And coming back, and coming back

(Join if you wish)

Keep it coming back

And coming back, and coming back

Why don't we keep it coming back?

And coming back

[Bridge]

(These days it's hard to find friends but opportunities bend)

We've been to this scene, aboriginal meme

(And we spend the chance sleeping on the top of the fence)

Had a smotherful mother full of meddle and steam

Can't believe what we've seen won't be burned to the ground

Though we make ourselves castles every tide we're around

Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk?

(It's a little bit of magic to end the world)

Do you like how my face has learned to tick like a clock?

(But I thought you knew me, truly)

I have a wonderful life, I know a powerful Bob

(Something different than we started with in the world)

He eulogizes me for being geocentric

(Does it even matter to me? Ha ha ha ha!)

[Refrain]

Keep it coming back

And coming back and coming back

Why don't we keep it coming back

And coming back, and coming back, and coming?

[Verse 4]

I get up and nothing gets me down

You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around

And I know, baby, just how you feel

You gotta roll with the punches to get to what's real

[Pre-Chorus, Version 2]

Oh, can't you see me standing here?

I got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen

Oh, can't you see what I mean?

[Verse 5]

Oh! Hey you! Who said that?

Baby, how you been?

You say you don't know

You won't know until you begin

[Pre-Chorus, Version 2]

So can't you see me standing here?

I've got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen (Imagine there's no heaven)

Oh, can't you see what I mean? (Above us, only sky)

[Chorus, Version 2]

Might as well jump (to end it all)

Go ahead and jump (let this one be to break the fall)

Might as well jump (Jump!)

Go ahead and jump (opportunities bend)

Might as well jump (You may say I'm a dreamer)

Go ahead and jump (But I'm not the only one)

Might as well jump (I hope someday you'll join us)

Go ahead and jump (And the world will live as one/ eulogizes me for being geo-)
