One Day

One day, I'll take a bottle

With a good strong base and a cork that fits it

No label, no marker's markI'll shout the bile and anger

And plain disappointment in until I've almost filled it

And then I'll squeeze the cork down hardI'll need a boat with a good strong sail

To weather all the storms and the gales

I'll grab that bottle, grip the rail and say my prayersAnd then I'll hail that bottle out

Into the deep blue sea

And then I'll sail away, yeahI'll hurl that bottle out

So far, it can't hurt me

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one dayOne day, I'll take some canvas

With a good strong seam

And a hot air burnerA basket, some sandbags and rope

And I'll float above the earth in my balloon of steam

Drifting further and further

Over plains and mountain slopesI'll fly 'til I find the deepest lake

A volcano about to awake

I'll grab that bottle by the neck and say my prayersAnd then I'll hurl that bottle down

Into the deep ravine

I'll never hear it hit the ground, yeahI'll hurl that bottle down

So far, it can't hurt me

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one dayOne day, I'll build a rocket

With a thick blunt nose and a mega tonne engine

A window to look at the moonAnd I'll burn through the stratosphere

With fire in my tail, a comet ascending

'Til I float in weightless gloomI won't turn back 'til I see the lunar plains

The detail of the rugged terrain

I'll grab that bottle full of pain and say my prayersAnd then I'll hurl that bottle down

Onto the arid sea

And then I'll fly away, yeahI'll hurl that bottle down

So far, it can't hurt me

One day, one day, one day
