When I See Pigs Fly Lyrics[Verse 1]
Trying to get to sleep
You're solving a mystery
The answers are far away
And they'll never see the light of day
[Pre-Chorus]
And the voice is getting loud
Self-pity and doubt
And part of you is proud
But you won't get over
But you try, but you try, but you try
[Chorus]
Like something from an old Greek tragedy
Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood
One doesn't have a happy ending
But either way you got to play your part
[Post-Chorus]
But either way you got to play your part
[Verse 2]
So long as the sun exists
To cast shadows on ourselves
The shadow has all to tell
For which we have such a bitter need
[Pre-Chorus]
To look at every turn
We're never gonna learn
It's always gonna hurt
And we won't get over
But we try, but we try, but we try
[Chorus]
Like something from an old Greek tragedy
Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood
One doesn't have a happy ending
But either way you got to play your part
You might also like[Hook]
And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly
And try, but either way you got to play your part
[Verse 3]
Always to run away
You call it a holiday
You see your surroundings change
But then you feel such a bitter need
[Pre-Chorus]
To look at your own worth
Can't blame it on the world
And no one but yourself
And you won't get over
But you try, but you try, but you try
[Bridge]
Stop taking it out on all those around
You're letting it roll straight back down
You're trying to push that rock back up the hill
[Chorus]
Like something from an old Greek tragedy
Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood
One doesn't have a happy ending
But either way you got to play your part
[Hook]
And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly
And try, but either way you got to play your part
And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly
And try, but either way you got to play your part
[Outro]
But either way you got to play your part
But either way you got to play your part
