Be Like A Cloud Lyrics - Regina Spektor

Who said I was original? 

Who said I was allowed, 

To sing as if I really sing, to write as if I really write 

Who said that I could suddenly get up from underneath and walk away completely stumbling between each breath I breathe 

And walk away stumbling sublimely between each breath I breathe 

Who said I was allowed? 

I once flew by a real tall wall with ivy all around 

And saw two eyes I really liked 

And saw two ears I really liked 

And saw two lips I liked as well 

And saw a face that I could love, 

But it was far so far and cold above 

Inside that big above 

But it was far and far and cold inside that big above

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worse than a cloud 

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worse than a cloud 

And so I walked to everywhere 

And stopped in every town 

The big ones with the little pond 

The small ones with no pond at all 

And though Ive eaten dirt before 

Ive never grown to like the taste 

And I prefer on any day a big green apple in its place 

And Id prefer on any day a big green apple in its place

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worse than a cloud 

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worse than a could 

And so I closed my eyes and walked 

And when I opened them again 

I knew the clouds had snowed on me, and then they poured on me some rain 

There stood this cold icicle the very shape and form of me 

I tried to cry but couldnt 

So instead, I made myself a cup of tea 

I tried to cry but couldnt 

So instead, I made myself a cup of tea 

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worse than a cloud 

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worse than a cloud 

So who said I was original 

Who said I was a cloud 

To rain as if I really rain 

To snow as if I really snow 

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 

As you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice 

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Cause youre no worser than a cloud 

Dont ask for their permission 

Theyll never say that youre allowed 

Be like a cloud 

Be like a cloud 

Be like a cloud 

Be like a cloud 

Be like a cloud
