Yoko Kanno - Flying Teapot lyrics

You say you're free

Well your freedom's killing me

And I feel just like a statue

To be admired from a distance

My love collides with your resistance

Then bounces back inside of me

You say you're strong

Well your strength just shatters me

As I scramble for my pieces

But the puzzle keeps repeating

It seems so self-defeating

How we plan each move so carefully

Chorus:

And still we both hang on

We risk a night and greet the down

AN affair for you - for me a song

Then suddenly it's over

Two cynics passing through

I blew it - I fell in love with you

The thing I swore I'd never do

And now m love just turns you colder

you say you're trying to find yourself

Well I know how hard that is

And I wish that I could help you

To share while like keeps teaching

To share while you keep reaching

But you prefer to reach out privately

Repeat Chorus

you say you're free

Well you freedom's killing me

And I feel just like a statue

to be admired from a distance

My love collides with your resistance

Then bounces back inside of me

The pattern goes on endlessly
