Who said I was allowed, To sing as if I really sing, to write as if I really write Who said that I could suddenly get up from underneath and walk away completely stumbling between each breath I breathe And walk away stumbling sublimely between each breath I breathe Who said I was allowed? I once flew by a real tall wall with ivy all around And saw two eyes I really liked And saw two ears I really liked And saw two lips I liked as well And saw a face that I could love, But it was far so far and cold above Inside that big above But it was far and far and cold inside that big above Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worse than a cloud Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worse than a cloud And so I walked to everywhere And stopped in every town The big ones with the little pond The small ones with no pond at all And though Ive eaten dirt before Ive never grown to like the taste And I prefer on any day a big green apple in its place And Id prefer on any day a big green apple in its place Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worse than a cloud Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worse than a could And so I closed my eyes and walked And when I opened them again I knew the clouds had snowed on me, and then they poured on me some rain There stood this cold icicle the very shape and form of me I tried to cry but couldnt So instead, I made myself a cup of tea I tried to cry but couldnt So instead, I made myself a cup of tea Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worse than a cloud Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worse than a cloud So who said I was original Who said I was a cloud To rain as if I really rain To snow as if I really snow You know the fastest thing in this world is the speed of snow into your eyes as you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice As you walk off sublimely stumbling, sublimely slipping on the ice Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Cause youre no worser than a cloud Dont ask for their permission Theyll never say that youre allowed Be like a cloud Be like a cloud Be like a cloud Be like a cloud Be like a cloud
