Flying birds
Excellent birds
Watch them fly, there they go
Falling snow
Excellent snow
Here it comes, watch it fall
Long words
Excellent words
I can hear them now
(This is the picture) this is the picture
(This is the picture) this is the picture
(This is the picture) this is the picture
(This is the picture) this is the picture
I'm sitting by the window, watching the snow fall
I'm looking out, and I'm moving, turning in time
Catching up, moving in
Jump up! And I can land on my feet, look out!
(This is the picture, this is the picture)
(This is the picture) this is the picture
(This is the picture) this is the picture
(This is the picture) this is the picture
(This is the picture) this is the picture
Looking out, watching out
When I see the future, I close my eyes
I can see it now
I see pictures of people rising up
I see pictures of people falling down
I see pictures of people standing on their heads, they're ready
I see pictures of people rising up
I see pictures of people falling down
I see pictures of people standing on their heads, they're ready
They're looking out (look out!)
They're watching out (watch out!)
They're looking out (look out!)
They're watching out, watching, watching out!
I see pictures of people (helpful)
I see pictures of people (watching, they're watching out!)
I see pictures of people (they're watching out, watch out!)
I see pictures of people (they're watching out, watch out! Hey!)
I see pictures of people (they're watching, they're watching out!)
I see pictures of people (watching, watch out!)
I see pictures of people (watch out!)
I see pictures of people (hey-hey!)
