XTC - Burning with Optimism's Flames lyrics

Never seen her glowing
All that bright she's throwing
Like some aurora from her head, it's growing
Reaching to the ground
And all around like a Navajo blanket
Never heard her singing
Now she's gently ringing like
Copper wind chimes
What on earth is bringing up this stream?
The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her Cheshire cousin

She claims she's found a way
To make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night

She says she's burning with
Optimism's flames, away, away
She says she's burning up all
Her guilts and shames, away, away
She says she's burning with
Optimism's flames, away, away
She says she's burning up burning up

Now you see I'm smiling back to juveniling
I learnt her lesson
In like flint and styling
All the world is neatly curled
Around my littlest finger
I can't stop this grinning
So assume I'm winning
Threw pessimism in the air, it's spinning
Crashing to the floor and nevermore
Will it lure me away
With sweets and shiny things
Just like a magpie

She claims she's found a way
To make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night

She says she's burning with
Optimism's flames, away, away
She says she's burning up all
Her guilts and shames, away, away
She says she's burning with
Optimism's flames, away, away
She says she's burning up she's burning up

Now every bird and bee
Just fuel the fire for me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Now every closing door just fan
The flames some more
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah

She claims she's found a way
To make her own light
All you do is smile, you banish the night

She says she's burning
With optimism's flames, away
She says she's burning up all
Her guilts and shames, yeah
She says she's burning with
Optimism, optimism's flames, hey
She says she's burning up burning up
Burning up

Now I'm thinking okay
I'm turning night into day
