One Day

One day 
I'll take a bottle with a good strong base 
And a cork that fits it 
No label, no marker's mark 
And I'll shout the bile and anger and plain disappointment in until I've almost filled it 
And then I'll squeeze the cork down hard 

I'll need a boat with a good strong sail 
To weather all the storms and the gales 
I'll grab the bottle, grip the rail and say my prayers 

And then I'll throw that bottle out 
Into the deep blue sea 
And then I'll sail away 
Yeah I'll throw that bottle out 
So far it can't hurt me 
One day, one day, one day 
One day, one day, one day 

One day 
I'll take some canvas with a good strong seam 
And a hot air burner 
A basket, some sandbags and rope 
And I'll float above the earth in my balloon of steam Drifting further and further 
Over plains and mountain slopes 

I'll fly 'til I find the deepest lake 
A volcano about to awake 
I'll grab that bottle by the neck and say my prayers 

And then I'll hurt that bottle down 
Into the deep ravine 
I'll never hear it hit the ground 
Yeah I'll hurt that bottle down, so far it can't hurt me 
One day, one day, one day 
One day, one day, one day 
One day, one day, one day 

One day 
I'll build a rocket with a thick blunt nose And a megatonne engine 
A window to look at the moon 
And I'll burn through the stratosphere with fire in my tail 
A comet ascending 
'Til I float in weightless gloom 

I won't turn back 'til I see the lunar plains 
The detail of the rugged terrain 
I'll grab that bottle full of pain and say my prayers 

And then I'll hurt that bottle down onto the arid sea 
And then I'll fly away 
Yeah I'll hurt that bottle down 
So far it can't hurt me 
One day, one day, one day
