If you see my birds flying

On your way past people crying

Give them all a wave and tell them

That I'm going to save some time for them

If you pass me in the square

Just pretend that I'm not there

Just reach over into my pocket

Take the paper and written on it's

What to do

It's up to you

Oh, transfiguration

Hey, babe

If you think I'm taking too long

Just imagine that I'm gone

Everybody wants to sleep

But sleep is something they must keep

From getting into

You know and I know

Playing cards, we count to ten

But only you would remember when

Close our eyes and see each other

One last time and you know my mother

Said it's true

That it's up to you

Oh oh, transfiguration

Hey, babe

Ten thousand different things to be

It's impossible, that's all

If you decide which one you want

Then I'll help you if you fall

Transfiguration

Hey, babe

If you see me try to swim

Backwards up the stream

Remember I'm the only one

You know who had that dream

If you jump into the water

And try to swim but then you sink

Try not to look behind yourself

Just have yourself a drink

Ah, ah, ah

Transfiguration, hey babe

Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh
