"Albatross" lyrics

"Albatross"

My cross flew out the window with me
When I decided to be
One of those shouty things up in the sky

I gave my mum a heart attack
Left the windowsill for the cul-de-sac
I stared at the sun and she stared right back

Found them heading south
Said, "Have you heard about the sun?
Oh, she's the thing that made us, she made everyone."

They said:
"Don't think you're special
She's not the only one
Haven't you seen the sky at night?
There's millions of them."
