I Hope This Will Be Strange Lyrics

My thoughts are falling down the stairs out my head and then cascading away

I hurl myself after them trying to keep up but just end up a heap

This is all so predictable so formulaic and pedestrian

This mould needs breaking reforging in the fires of Asgard or some such shit

So I pray for the unexplored clamour for discovery gods deliver me from mediocrity

I have had my fill

Launch me straight into the arms of Morpheus

Let me sleep let me let myself sleep

Or at least trick myself into letting go

And catching a few hours

Let me dream sweet lucid haven where possibilities are endless

Spare me from routine deliver me to wonder

And the boy repeats over and over

I hope this will be strange

I want to bring about change

I hope this will be strange

Oh P4 you daft wee boy

Be careful what you wish for

He paid no heed to the doubt and went forth

Heart open and naive losing sleep over what to believe

I hope this will be strange

I've been here before

I'm pretty sure I've opened every door

Didn't like what I saw

But I went through them anyway

Here I'll stay

Fumbling and stumbling I'll find my way

And it was strange and marvellous and terrifying all at once and years apart

Times incessant march swing your head to the baton or pendulum

Or add an extra beat at the start

How can you know if you don't try like really know?

How can you know yourself if you don't make the hard choices?

Do you know who you are?

Do you know who you want to be?

You made your own cage set yourself free

But the weird and the different are too tempting to me Don't you see?

I'm sorry I don't know that one I'm sorry P4

I'm so- I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm s

I'm sorry I'm sorry P4

I only ever wanted to help It was the other humans They wouldn't stop

Stop

Stop!

I falter at the threshold

Same stories retold

I hope this will be strange

This time I'll be bold

I hope this will be strange

I hope this will be strange

I've been here before

I hope this will be strange

I'm pretty sure I opened every door

I hope this will be strange

But I didn't like what I saw

I hope this will be strange

I hope this will be strange

I want to bring about change

Here I'll stay

I hope this will be strange

Stumbling and finding my way

I hope this will be strange

But I falter at the threshold

So you did get here in a way

You just took the longer route

You got here a little later but better equipped

Maybe now we can get this done

Ready?

(I hope this will be strange)

Ready

(I hope this will be strange)

This time I'll be bold

I hope this will be strange

I hope this will be strange

I hope this will be strange
