Do Impossible Things

We lay still in the grass watching parakeets

Flying in and out of closed windows

And you said "You can't solve my problems

Neither can I solve yours"

We'll never be as beautiful as the parakeets

In Istanbul

And we'll never be impossible

And do impossible things

Now we hang out in Japanese gardens

Collect shiny things for our nest

We're just like blackbirds

The darkness painted to our chests

Now our collection's nearly finished

We've got bad luck tokens, diamond rings

And gold teeth

And you say "Can it get darker?"

Well I see your shadow down beneath

And we'll never be as beautiful as the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be impossible like the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be as beautiful as the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be impossible like the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be as beautiful as the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be impossible like the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be as beautiful as the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be impossible like the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be as beautiful as the parakeets in Istanbul

We'll never be impossible like the parakeets in Istanbul
