Moss had got a new bird, so was feeling a mixture of scepticism and optimism. Definitely a 2-colour song.

Lyrics
As I?m looking at my hands I crack a smile
?Cause I?m dreaming that my grasp is getting wide
I feel I?ve got life by the neck
I?m wringing it for what I get
Time for sit and wait is over; it?s time for movement
And with No Pianos from above
No trapdoors under my walk
No more flies in my soup
It?s time to face the truth
It?s going well
It?s going well
There?s an upward sloping feeling taking me
On a course that looks almost collision-free
A steady gain of momentum
A crawl evolves into a run
A nagging anticipation of a corner
And with No Pianos from above
No trapdoors under my walk
No more flies in my soup
It?s time to face the truth
It?s going well
It?s going well
And that scares me
That scares me
That scares me
That scares me
Will my locomotive derail at full steam?
Is my yellow-brick road journey just naïve?
?Cause I wasn?t born quite yesterday
I know that things get in the way
I?m just making my escape for the moment
And with No Pianos from above
No trapdoors under my walk
No more flies in my soup
It?s time to face the truth
It?s going well
It?s going well
And that scares me
That scares me
That scares me
That scares me.
