If you see my birds flying   On your way past people crying   Give them all a wave and tell them   That I'm going to save some time for them      If you pass me in the square   Just pretend that I'm not there   Just reach over into my pocket   Take the paper and written on it's what to do   It's up to you   Ah, ah, ah   Transfiguration   Hey hey      If you think I'm taking too long   Just imagine that I'm gone   Everybody wants to sleep but   Sleep is something they must keep from getting into   You know   And I know      Playing cards who can't pretend   But only you would remember when   Close our eyes and see each other   One last time and you know my mother said it's true   That it's up to you   Ah, ah, ah   Ah, ah, ah   Transfiguration   Hey hey      Ten thousand different things to be   It's impossible that's all   If you decide which one you want   They'll help you if you fall   Transfiguration   Hey hey      If you see me trying to swim backwards up the stream   Remember I'm the only one who only had that dream   If you jump into the water and try to swim but then you sink   Try not to look behind yourself, just have yourself a drink   Ah, ah, ah   Ah, ah, ah   Ah, ah, ah   Transfiguration   Hey hey, hey hey...
