Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
That were too busy living through, too busy to see.
What is it that we do makes us what we are
If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ?

Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
If singin birds must sing, with no question of choice
Then livin is our song, indeed our voice
Best agree you and me were probably nightingales

- instrumental verse -

Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
If singin birds must sing, with no question of choice
Then livin is our song, indeed our voice
Best agree you and me were probably nightingales

Gods a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats
With a fear that is biblical under our hats

Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
If singin birds must sing, with no question of choice
Then livin is our song, indeed our voice
Best agree you and me were probably nightingales
