[Silence]
[Instrumental – Bright Horn Stabs, Swing Beat, Whistling Synth Lead, Upright Bass]
[Intro]
[Spoken, Lightly Comedic]
They said it would never happen…
But then again, they said a lot of things…
[Beat kicks in – jaunty rhythm]
[Verse 1]
Out in the sky where the rumors go
Past the places we think we know
Something’s flipping the rules around
Upside logic, skyward bound
Barnyard legends breaking free
Defying gravity casually
Wings or will or just pure spite
Taking off in plain daylight
[Pre-Chorus]
Shake your head but don’t deny
You just saw one pass you by
Truth gets weird when vision shifts
Reality starts doing flips
[Chorus]
Flying pigs
(Doing aerial jigs)
Have you seen stranger things
(Flying with wings)
Barnyard myths on silver springs
(Loop-de-looping everything)
Now you know why
(You hear them say)
When pigs can fly
(That’ll be the day)
But here they are
(Up in the sky)
So don’t be shocked
Just blink and try
[Instrumental Break – Swinging Guitar Solo, Trumpet Flourish, Light Percussion]
[Verse 2]
Farm below in disbelief
Rubbed their eyes in shared relief
Some called magic, some called joke
Some just stared and quietly spoke
“Guess the world has changed its tune”
Underneath a rising moon
Even logic takes a break
When impossible’s awake
[Pre-Chorus]
Every rule begins to bend
Every ending has a friend
What was fixed is up and gone
Now it’s flying all along
[Chorus]
Flying pigs
(Doing aerial jigs)
Have you seen stranger things
(Flying with wings)
Even doubt begins to swing
(As they loop through everything)
Now you know why
(You hear them say)
When pigs can fly
(That’ll be the day)
But look again
(They’re passing by)
So maybe truth
Just learned to fly
[Bridge – Soft Jazz Breakdown, Upright Bass Solo]
If the ground can lose its hold
And stories start to grow bold
Then maybe “impossible”
Was just mislabeled all along
[Final Chorus – Big, Joyful, Full Band Swing]
Flying pigs
(Doing aerial jigs)
Reality’s doing flips
(On unpredictable trips)
Sky is full of little myths
(That no longer fit the scripts)
Now you know why
(You hear them say)
When pigs can fly
(That’ll be the day)
But here they soar
(Above the fray)
Guess “never” just got updated today
[Outro]
[Whistling Melody, Light Laughs, Fading Horns]
If pigs can fly…
What else might try…
(They say today)
… it’s do or die.
[Soft final chord]
