All or nothing

– penny whistle solo
aye-yah

I whistled a tune called ‘lazy’ and I tiptoed a very tight line
all of the time walking backwards, all of the time I was blind
and the only voice I was hearing was yours inside my head
saying “Get yourself back to the kitchen, girl, one true move and you’re dead”

but, I, I, I found out it’s all or nothing

and all of the time he fiddled, I danced to the dark of his breath
too lazy to crumble and jumble there, over and over he played
and the only sound I was hearing was the one inside my own mind
saying “Get yourself back to the kitchen sink, girl, you’ve blown it one more time”

ah, I, I, I found out it’s all or nothing at all

{yes it’s over, nothing lasted}
nothing’s changed, yes it’s over, still you breathe

mm hi-yah, hi-yah
hi-yah, hah

I whistled a tune called ‘crazy’ and I tiptoed a very tight line
I faltered ever so slightly, all of the time I was blind
and the only voice I was hearing was the one inside my head
saying “Get yourself out of the kitchen, girl – fly to the moon instead”

? {hi-yah, hi-yah etc.}
I-ah, hi-yah... I found out, it’s all or nothing
I-ah, hi-yah... I found out, it’s all or nothing
yes, it’s all or nothing at all
hi-yah-ooh

fly me to the moon, let me roll among

nn-nn-nnn
all or... ah-la, ah-ha
hi-yah, hi-yah
fly me to the moon, let me roll among the stars
hi-yah, hi-yah     [now = higher, higher?]
hi-yah, hi-yah
oo-ee-oo
