Lyrics
From the corner of my eye
Observing something subtly or indirectly
I was looking out and why
Contemplating the reason or purpose
To see all the things we did
Reflecting on past experiences
To see hope in where we hid
Finding optimism in unexpected places
From the outside looking in
Viewing a situation from an external perspective
Was a stranger with a grin
An unknown person with a smile
Seeing bombhead on a rope
Observing a figure named "bombhead" on a swing
He was swinging high and low
The figure swinging energetically
High and low
Repetition for emphasis
We were miles out to sea
Metaphorical distance from familiar surroundings
Did we float you and me
Questioning whether they sailed together
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
Considering returning for more experiences
We were miles from the bay
Being far from a bay or safe haven
Did we float I should say
Reflecting on whether they navigated successfully
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore
Contemplating future departures from familiar places
From the corner of my eye
Revisiting memories or observations
I was looking out and why
Questioning the motivation behind looking outward
There were sounds you never heard
Recalling unheard sounds
And then dump was the new word
Introducing a new concept, "dump," into their vocabulary
Look at last night was that night
Reflecting on a past night
A sharp lady got it right
A knowledgeable woman confirming a point
We sang songs from cabaret
Engaging in singing from a theatrical performance
And we laugh the night away
Enjoying the night with laughter
Right away
Immediate enjoyment
We were miles out to sea
Reiteration of the metaphorical sea journey
Did we float you and me
Pondering the success of their floatation
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
Considering the possibility of further adventures
We were miles from the bay
Reemphasizing the distance from safety
Did we float I should say
Reflecting on the success of their navigation
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore
Thinking about future departures from the norm
The mad monk was such a sight
Describing a visually striking monk with red hair
Red hair hanging in the light
Wondering if the monk lives in isolation
And a temple to call home
Noting the monk's abode
Is he living there alone
Questioning the monk's solitary existence
From the outside looking in
Returning to an external viewpoint
Stood a stranger with a grin
Another unknown observer with a smile
He saw all the things we did
Recalling shared experiences
We saw hope in where we hid
Finding hope in unexpected places
Yes we did
Affirming the positive experiences
We were miles out to sea
Reaffirmation of the metaphorical sea journey
Did we float you and me
Reflecting on the success of their joint floatation
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
Contemplating future adventures together
We were miles from the bay
Reemphasizing the distance from safety
Did we float I should say
Reflecting on the success of their navigation
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore
Considering future departures from familiar places
