Dragonflies and Astronauts Songtext
von The Parlotones

For heaven′s sakes
Oh what's it gonna take
For you to leave me?
To live my dreams?
For heaven′s sakes
I think I might just take
All of me...
And dream, dream, dream

They say in life thats the price you pay
But no one said how much I'd have to pay...

Dragonflies and astronauts, think that I should've known
Better than to splutter out, silly little words.
Leaping frogs and Airship portals think that I should′ve known
Better than, to flutter up, silly little world


For cryin′ out loud
Whats wrong with being proud,
Of who you are?
Your shining star?
For cryin' out loud
I think i love the sound.
Of your guitar
You′ve come so far

In life you get what you pay for,
But somehow I just expected more

Dragonflies and astronauts, think that I should've known
Better than to splutter out, silly melody.
Leaping frogs and Airship portals think that you should′ve known
Better than, to cry, cry, a felony

[They tell stories,
They tell stories of leprechauns and dragons, witches, wizards trolls and dungeons,
Fantasies and mysteries you proclaim - but the real world is a lot scarier,
And theres always a price to pay!]


Dragonflies and astronauts,
Leaping frogs and airship portals,
Splutter flutter silly billy boy.
Chameleons of sad assumptions,
Copycats, talking parrots,
Splutter flutter silly billy boy.
And butterflies and hurricanes,
Penguins, pelicans, talking rubbish,
Splutter flutter silly billy boy.
Dragonflies and astronauts,
Leaping frogs and airship portals,
Splutter flutter silly billy boy.

Silly billy boy,
Silly billy boy.
