Feel So Bad Nature Boy Lyrics

Nature Boy Lyrics

I was just a boy when I sat down

To watch the news on TV

I saw some ordinary slaughter

I saw some routine atrocity

My father said, don't look away

You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now

He said, that in the end it is beauty

That is going to save the world, now



And she moves among the sparrows

And she floats upon the breeze

She moves among the flowers

She moves something deep inside of me



I was walking around the flower show like a leper

Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria

When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair

Up against the pink and purple wisteria

You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me

With some unrighteous intention?

My knees went weak,

I couldn't speak, I was having thoughts

That were not in my best interests to mention



And she moves among the flowers

And she floats upon the smoke

She moves among the shadows

She moves me with just one little look



You took me back to your place

And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit

You played the patriot, you raised the flag

And I stood at full salute

Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb

And made it impossible to speak

As you closed in, in slow motion,

Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek



She moves among the shadows

She floats upon the breeze

She moves among the candles

And we moved through the days

and through the years



Years passed by, we were walking by the sea

Half delirious

You smiled at me and said, Babe

I think this thing is getting kind of serious

You pointed at something and said

Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?

It was then that I broke down

It was then that you lifted me up again



She moves among the sparrows

And she walks across the sea

She moves among the flowers

And she moves something deep inside of me



She moves among the sparrows

And she floats upon the breeze

She moves among the flowers

And she moves right up close to me
