please, don’t put your wires in my brain…

If

(Roger Waters)

If I were a swan I’d be gone
If I were a train I’d be late
And if I were a good man
I’d talk with you more often than I do
If I were asleep I could dream
If I were afraid I could hide
If I go insane
Please don’t put your wires in my brain
If I were the moon I’d be cool
If I were a rule I would bend
If I were a good man
I’d understand the spaces between friends
If I were alone I would cry
And if I were with you I’d be home and dry
And if I go insane
Will you still let me join in with the game
If I were a swan I’d be gone
If I were a train I’d be late again
And if I were a good man
I’d talk with you more often than I do.

(Pink Floyd, Atom Heart Mother, 1970)
