"SOMETHING UNNATURAL"
A power ballad in the style of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" by Sir Elton John and "Eternal Flame" by the Bangles.
[FAYTON]
It's something unnatural, and it makes me shake
Oh, I know it's wrong, and it makes me quake
On the day I first took wing, I was told it was my duty
To uphold the natural order, which has a kind of beauty
The stars in the firmament, and the moon up in heaven
The way things ought to be, in such pure perfection
Now I don't know where to go, all I see is blue yonder
Lost with no direction home, and so I'm left to ponder
As the sun burns my feathers, the thoughts twist my mind
It's all I can do to stay aloft, because I'm flying blind
Why do I feel like the evenstar has been struck blind
By the harsh, unwanted glare of sunlight?
How will the stars guide my voyage across the firmament
If the sun consumes and devours the night?
Tell me how to go on, when I feel in my heart of hearts
A sensation so heavy I can't take flight?
And how can I fight these feelings dwelling inside me
Feelings of such sweet, joyous delight?
It's something unnatural, and it makes me sway
Oh, I know it's wrong, but it won't let me get away
Flying high, I head for the stars, wanting to break free
But I'm trapped in the world, part of the cosmic orrery
Reaching the limits of my flight, I fall to the ground
The thoughts take control, and now I'm earthbound
I just want to fly away and leave these thoughts behind
Spread my wings and soar away from this life confined
By thoughts that disgust me, thoughts that make me ill
But they've taken hold so firm, of the reins of my will
Why do I feel like the evenstar has been struck blind
By the harsh, unwanted glare of sunlight?
How will the stars guide my voyage across the firmament
If the sun consumes and devours the night?
Tell me how to go on, when I feel in my heart of hearts
A sensation so heavy I can't take flight?
And how can I fight these feelings dwelling inside me
Feelings of such sweet, joyous delight?
It's something unnatural, and it makes me shout
Oh, I know it's wrong, but it won't let me out
Earthbound, I raise my eyes to look for the evenstar
It makes me sick to see that it's fixed above your door
Is it the trade winds or destiny, or is it just my heart
That binds me to the earth, so we will never be apart?
To break gravity's pull, two wings must work in tandem
Birds of a feather flock together, or misfortune strikes them
Going off in all directions, like gears that cannot turn
Nature made us separate for reasons we can't learn
So why must I burn myself, and others with this desire?
This blazing conflagration, a blemish like the fire
Of the sun, the destroyer, that hangs in the sky above
Why must I be the doomed one, doomed to feel this love?
Why do I feel like the evenstar has been struck blind
By the harsh, unwanted glare of sunlight?
How will the stars guide my voyage across the firmament
If the sun consumes and devours the night?
Tell me how to go on, when I feel in my heart of hearts
A sensation so heavy I can't take flight?
And how can I fight these feelings dwelling inside me
Feelings of such sweet, joyous delight?
It's something unnatural, and it makes me shiver
Oh, I know it's wrong....
Yes, yes, I know it's wrong!
Oooh, I know it's wrong....but I'm in love with River
She's something unnatural, and she makes me shiver
And I know it's wrong....but I'm in love with River!
