Three Wishes
We'd be so less fragileIf we're made from metalAnd our hearts from ironAnd our minds from steel
And if we built an armyFull of tender bodiesCould we love each other?Would we stop to feel?
And you want three wishesOne to fly the heavens, one to swim like fishesAnd then one you're saving for a rainy dayIf your lover ever takes her love away
You say you want to know her like a loverAnd undo her damage, she'll be new againSoon you'll find that if you try to save herIt will lose her anger, you will never win
And you want three wishesYou want never bitter and all deliciousAnd then one you're saving for a rainy dayIf your lover ever takes her love away
You want three wishesOne to fly the heavens, one to swim like fishesYou want never bitter and all deliciousAnd a clean conscience and all it's blissesYou want one true lover with a thousand kisses
You want soft and gentle and never viciousAnd then one you're saving for a rainy dayIf your lover ever takes her love away
