James - What For Lyrics

Today, I won't think of any sad things

Will not think of torture, or the rape of nature

Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers

Will just let myself get swept away by this beautiful day

What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for

The starling spiral dancing on air.

What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for

In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye

Sick fish, myself, and some strange debris.

I would prefer to be anywhere away from here

Oh I would prefer to be anywhere away from here

I would prefer to be anywhere away from here

What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for

In the square I am sun I am sky

What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
