I'd soon fill up with rain
If I could be a vehicle
I'd be a runaway freight train
If I could be a colour
Out of the charming rainbow stack
I would be, religiously,
The best of bible black
If I could be a flower
I'd wilt under the sun
If I could be a weapon
I'd be a loaded gun
If I could be an instrument
I'd be a broken tambourine
If I could be a filmstar
I wouldn't be in this scene
If I could be a planet
I'd be empty of all life
If I could be the universe
Who'd be the universe's wife?
Just another tragedy who dreamt of holding it all
Dreamt of cradling the atmosphere between her fingers like a ball
I dreamt of her last night
and if I could be a dream
I would be a nightmare
In fact I am, or so it seems
