    Lyrics:
    Who said I was original?
    Who said I was allowed,
    To sing as if I really sing, to write as if I really write
    Who said that I could suddenly get up from underneath and walk away completely stumbling between each breath I breathe
    And walk away stumbling sublimely between each breath I breathe
    Who said I was allowed?
    I once flew by a real tall wall with ivy all around
    And saw two eyes I really liked
    And saw two ears I really liked
    And saw two lips I liked as well
    And saw a face that I could love,
    But it was far so far and cold above
    Inside that big above
    But it was far and far and cold inside that big above
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worse than a cloud
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worse than a cloud
    And so I walked to everywhere
    And stopped in every town
    The big ones with the little pond
    The small ones with no pond at all
    And though Ive eaten dirt before
    Ive never grown to like the taste
    And I prefer on any day a big green apple in its place
    And Id prefer on any day a big green apple in its place
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worse than a cloud
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worse than a could
    And so I closed my eyes and walked
    And when I opened them again
    I knew the clouds had snowed on me, and then they poured on me some rain
    There stood this cold icicle the very shape and form of me
    I tried to cry but couldnt
    So instead, I made myself a cup of tea
    I tried to cry but couldnt
    So instead, I made myself a cup of tea
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worse than a cloud
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worse than a cloud
    So who said I was original
    Who said I was a cloud
    To rain as if I really rain
    To snow as if I really snow
    You know the fastest thing in this world is the speed of snow into your eyes as you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice
    As you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Cause youre no worser than a cloud
    Dont ask for their permission
    Theyll never say that youre allowed
    Be like a cloud
    Be like a cloud
    Be like a cloud
    Be like a cloud
    Be like a cloud

    Were all like clouds, big and ominous looking but really just a big softie. Like a cloud we look as if we are on top of the world yet we all cry sometimes like the summer rain. We all come and eventually go as a cloud does. We are all different like every cloud in the sky. But unlike clouds, we can't seem to just come together as one and be clouds together.
    Yays! I made a poetry!! This ones for u Regina!!!

      Yeah but she's actually a genius like "Human of the Year"--she IS human of the year, we're not. Just reminds me of some comment on that song trying to make it "universal." If you've actually been a genius at something in life, maybe.

    There are so many un-studio recorded songs that she needs to put on her new album, like this and Mermaids. :)

    Gosh, I love her so much. She's just so different, and special, and god-like. :) It's true that her voice is so entertaining, 'silly eye colour generalizations' is a great example of this. :)

    I wonder if this is in any way connected to Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."
