A little girl upon the fireplace
Only air flying emotionless
Ring the bells for she could keep flying
This is me, completely me
End of day, we watched the sun go down
I can see you're like a firework
You want to save me, people will save me
But this is you, completely you
Now it's day, but I am dreaming
A man walks by, I want to be his wife
I'm only here sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only good sometimes
To keep my time to go home
Like a candle wasted from burning
I got shoes tired from walking
Calling out your name, my lips keep failing
They have now forgot to sing
Now it's day, but I am dreaming
A man walks by, I want to be his wife
I'm only here sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only good sometimes
To keep my time to go home
I'm only here sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only good sometimes
To keep my time to go home
I'm only good sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only here sometimes
To keep my time to go home
Only air flying emotionless
Ring the bells for she could keep flying
This is me, completely me
End of day, we watched the sun go down
I can see you're like a firework
You want to save me, people will save me
But this is you, completely you
Now it's day, but I am dreaming
A man walks by, I want to be his wife
I'm only here sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only good sometimes
To keep my time to go home
Like a candle wasted from burning
I got shoes tired from walking
Calling out your name, my lips keep failing
They have now forgot to sing
Now it's day, but I am dreaming
A man walks by, I want to be his wife
I'm only here sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only good sometimes
To keep my time to go home
I'm only here sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only good sometimes
To keep my time to go home
I'm only good sometimes
Under the tree of life
I'm only here sometimes
To keep my time to go home

i just wanted to comment on how beautiful this song is. honestly, i think the new album of theirs is my favorite - perhaps the others were more original, or groundbreaking, but "penny sparkle" is just so easy to listen to. the music flows into my ears like water, immediately catchy and enjoyable, yet interesting enough to hold up to repeated listening.
and this song... one of my very favorites on this album. i'd say it's a perfect downtempo song, i love the way kazu's voice stretches out the syllables in the chorus, a trail of pixie dust flowing behind each word. great choice for the opening track imo
