[Verse 1] I'm an edaphic critter Fossorial limbs, vestigial eyes My simple heart a'pitter As reckless giants rush on by I hear my ceiling crumble My blurry vision senses sky I need a deeper tunnel So drab and dark and dull and dry [Pre-Chorus] The soil is the safest place to hide Yet I just wanna fly [Chorus] Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya I watch you flip and flitter Eating all the bugs out on the lake Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya My muddled mind can't picture A single way your vicious heart could break [Verse 2] I burrowed down last winter To nurse my new aortic wound I finally found a missus To gift me every golden bruise I wake up mornings crying She still haunts every earnest dream I'm so afraid of flying But I'd still love to sprout some wings [Pre-Chorus] The soil is the safest place to hide Yet I just wanna fly [Chorus] Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya I watch you flip and flitter Eating all the bugs out on the lake Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya My muddled mind can't picture A single way your vicious heart could break
