Skinny Boy (dressed in a parka)

from Beautiful Again by Michael Doris

/

lyrics

Verse 1
I would believe in the birds in the trees cause you told me
The skinny boy dressed in a parka was that was inclined
He stood in the snow as he pulled up his hood and he prayed for the bus to arrive soon
Knowing full well that the bus would be full but the smokers upstairs wouldn't mind
About me

Verse 2
Watching the tenements, infinite windows, and street names and dogs spinning by
His mind wandered off to imagine the planets and people that he'd never be
A world full of strangers and dinosaurs, fireworks, Clarke's shoes and Celtic FC
And nobody noticed the boy on the bus in his parka alone on the seat
Except me

Chorus
Everyone's running around and around round and round and round
Nobody's taking the time to look up, as they shuffle their stares to the ground
Spinning the wheel as their life passes by
The skinny boy gazed out the window and sighed

Middle 8
his world stood still
As the Sun came up
The bell rang out
The birds took flight
