Lyric Suspended in Gaffa
Out in the garden
There s half of a heaven,
And we re only bluffing.
We re not ones for busting through walls,
But they ve told us
Unless we can prove
That we re doing it,
We can t have it all.
He s gonna wangle
A way to get out of it.
She s an excuse
And a witness who ll talk when he s called.
But they ve told us
Unless we can prove
That we re doing it,
We can t have it all.
We can t have it all.
"I caught a glimpse of a god, all shining and bright."
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.
It all goes slo-mo.
I don t know why I m crying.
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I m ready for you,
Not until I m ready for you
Can I have it all.
I try to get nearer,
But as it gets clearer
There s something appears in the way,
It s a plank in me eye,
With a camel
Who s trying to get through it,
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?
I pull out the plank and say
"Thank you for yanking me back
To the fact that there s
Always something to distract."
But sometimes it s hard
To know if I m doing it right.
Can I have it all?
Can I have it all now?
We can t have it all.
"We all have a dream...maybe."
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.
It all goes slo-mo.
I don t know why I m crying.
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I m ready for you,
Not until I m ready for you
Can I have it all.
I won t open boxes
That I am told not to.
I m not a Pandora.
I m much more like
That girl in the mirror.
Between you and me
She don t stand a chance of getting anywhere at all.
Not anywhere at all.
No, not a thing.
She can t have it all.
"Mother, where are the angels? I m scared of the changes."
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud.
It all goes slo-mo.
I don t know why I m crying.
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I m ready for you,
Not until I m ready for you
Can I have it all.
There s half of a heaven,
And we re only bluffing.
