Gilbert O'Sullivan - Not in a Million Years lyrics

rate me

Every other morning

I lie in bed awake

And wonder why the dawning

Always has to break

Could it be it must

As we all expect it to

Could it be I just

Simply haven't got a clue

And what if it stayed behind

Had itself a change of mind

What would your impression be

How would you react

Would you simply smile and say

Don't be silly go away

Anyone can plainly see

It couldn't happen here

Not in a million years

So you think you're clever

Well, if you really are

Would you kindly tell me

How big is a star

And what does it contain

Is it metal or wood

How much does it cost

Is it really any good

And what if they all came down

Everyone upon the ground

What would your impression be

How would you react

Would you simply smile and say

Don't be silly go away

Anyone can plainly see

It couldn't happen here

Not in a million years

Everyone knows one and one is two

And all take for granted that it's true

Everybody know that the world is round

Although it doesn't look it from the ground

Everybody knows it's right

But what if one and one were five

And the world not really round

Everywhere was just a huge flat piece of ground

Look at all the animals

Living in zoos

Elephants and tigers

lions and kangaroos

Don't they all look cute

When they're hid behind a cage

Funny when they laugh

Exciting when then rage

But what if they took control

There and then reversed the role

What would your impression be

How would you react

Would you simply smile and say

don't be silly go away

Anyone can plainly see

It couldn't happen here

It couldn't happen here

Not in a million years
