1
Who said I was original?
2
Who said I was allowed,
3
To sing as if I really sing, to write as if I really write
4
Who said that I could suddenly get up from underneath and walk away completely stumbling between each breath I breathe
5
And walk away stumbling sublimely between each breath I breathe
6
Who said I was allowed?
7
I once flew by a real tall wall with ivy all around
8
And saw two eyes I really liked
9
And saw two ears I really liked
10
And saw two lips I liked as well
11
And saw a face that I could love,
12
But it was far so far and cold above
13
Inside that big above
14
But it was far and far and cold inside that big above
15
Don't ask for their permission
16
They'll never say that you're allowed
17
Be like a cloud
18
Cause you're no worse than a cloud
19
Don't ask for their permission
20
They'll never say that you're allowed
21
Be like a cloud
22
Cause you're no worse than a cloud
23
And so I walked to everywhere
24
And stopped in every town
25
The big ones with the little pond
26
The small ones with no pond at all
27
And though I've eaten dirt before
28
I"หve never grown to like the taste
29
And I prefer on any day a big green apple in its place
30
And I'd prefer on any day a big green apple in its place
31
Don't ask for their permission
32
They'll never say that you're allowed
33
Be like a cloud
34
Cause you're no worse than a cloud
35
Don't ask for their permission
36
They'll never say that you're allowed
37
Be like a cloud
38
Cause you're no worse than a could
39
And so I closed my eyes and walked
40
And when I opened them again
41
I knew the clouds had snowed on me, and then they poured on me some rain
42
There stood this cold icicle the very shape and form of me
43
I tried to cry but couldn't
44
So instead, I made myself a cup of tea
45
I tried to cry but couldn't
46
So instead, I made myself a cup of tea
47
Don't ask for their permission
48
They'll never say that you're allowed
49
Be like a cloud
50
Cause you're no worse than a cloud
51
Don't ask for their permission
52
They'll never say that you're allowed
53
Be like a cloud
54
Cause you're no worse than a cloud
55
So who said I was original
56
Who said I was a cloud
57
To rain as if I really rain
58
To snow as if I really snow
59
You know the fastest thing in this world is the speed of snow into your eyes as you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice
60
As you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice
61
Don't ask for their permission
62
They'll never say that you're allowed
63
Be like a cloud
64
Cause you're no worser than a cloud
65
Don't ask for their permission
66
They'll never say that you're allowed
67
Be like a cloud
68
Be like a cloud
69
Be like a cloud
70
Be like a cloud
71
Be like a cloud
72
