I Fancy Dancing with a Seraphim
(Custard Pies & Earl Grey Tea)
Words & lyrics, 2021
I fancy dancing with a Seraphim
I like to fight with a dragon by my side
Forever I endeavor to adventure high and low
Pterodactyls in flight
Such a spectacular sight
I crave a cave that leads to another world
I laugh on a path to the heart of the sun
How soon will the moon beam me dreams of sailing home?
Celebration has begun
Dancing and singing, good fun
I’m free!
I’m free!
I’m free!
I’m free!
I stumble as I tumble through a galaxy of cream
I’m weightless, yeah I’m stateless so I don’t give a hoot
I spin through the din of a herd of wildebeest
Frogs and geckos and newts
Salamanders and a Yeti or two
Red pocket rockets are all you really need
To launch yourself to Saturn or beyond
In a flash you dash to catch it for Instagram
How will they all respond
In Byzantine Trebizond?
I’m free!
I’m free!
I’m free!
I’m free!
The world pulls you down
Thins you out
Spins you round
Fight like a knight
On a steed
Sparkling bright
Crowds full of clowns
Bring you down
Hit hard ground
Creativity
Will lead to
Superconductivity
Radioactivity
Special relativity
Custard pies and Earl Grey Tea
You mention tensions, alternate universes
In a flash I dash to the portal open wide
I pray you’ll say we saved the cherubim
They’re bringing us their light
Heavenly eyes so bright
I’m free!
I’m free!
I’m free!
I’m free!
The world pulls you down
Thins you out
Spins you round
Fight like a knight
On a steed
Sparkling bright
Crowds full of clowns
Bring you down
Hit hard ground
Creativity
Will lead to
Superconductivity
Radioactivity
Special relativity
