《I Wish(口白)》歌词

[00:00:11] I wish I had a story to tell

[00:00:13] I wish I knew the story of the cardboard man

[00:00:16] Or the talking film canister or the spoon that moved

[00:00:20] I wish I knew the one about the wise guru

[00:00:22] Or the honest lizard

[00:00:24] I wish I knew about the dog that dressed like a cat

[00:00:27] Or the mule that walked like rock

[00:00:30] Or the tornado who swam like a statue of Carmen Miranda

[00:00:34] I wish I knew all these stories or

[00:00:37] Had the inclination to make them up

[00:00:39] I wish I could sit on soft pillows and drink molten lava

[00:00:43] I wish I could make love to the sky

[00:00:46] I wish I could eat the corn of joy and sorrow

[00:00:49] I wish the sky was green and my body was bright blue

[00:00:53] I wish I could talk sideways and backwards

[00:00:56] I wish I could drive the tractor of innocence

[00:00:58] And return the the life I never knew

[00:01:01] I wish I could drink chocolate champagne

[00:01:03] I wish I had that fax number

[00:01:06] I wish that nothing could mean something

[00:01:08] And that everybody could have everything

[00:01:10] Some wishes come true

[00:01:12] Some of these wishes will come true

[00:01:15] Others are destined to become dreams deferred

[00:01:18] Shriveling up like grapes with sun tans

[00:01:21] But all is not lost

[00:01:23] No all is not lost not yet

[00:01:47] I wish I had 3 eyes but of course I have 3 eyes

[00:01:51] I have clairvoyant paranoia

[00:01:53] I have precognitive dissonance

[00:01:55] I have many other ways of seeing at my disposal

[00:01:58] I have a garbage disposal dinner plans and dog biscuits

[00:02:02] I have many many options and a strong sense

[00:02:06] That freedom is within

[00:02:07] Where I shall never find it

[00:02:09] Freedom is lost failure is just around the corner

[00:02:13] And the only thing that consoles me is the sound of my voice

[00:02:17] And the fact that I don't cut myself shaving as often I used to

[00:02:21] But of course I don't shave as often as I used to either
