some people, you know the people
the people who hide
the people who attack

you are trying to change things
you have a plan
but its meaning is missed
people would rather wear sneakers
act like lemmings and jump off a cliff

my self pity
is influenced by its own fame
touch the person next to you
the person on your train
find the person inside
then deal with your pain

it has been a few months now
and the candle still flickers
i left my heart with reason
and still they bicker

i have a lot to learn
well somebody got burnt
but if you put your fingers in the fire
you are only adding fuel
the flares are bound to get higher

need you,
tower life
and skyscraper perception
the village idiots bicycle
and no direction

you have rotated the dial
scanned through every colour
you have been through all my smiles
you have made me feel like a man
and shown me the beauty of the inner child

they stay
they give you surprises
sometimes they swim away
they move up
they get a new outlook
to match the new outfit

i have got a lot to learn
you have got a lot to learn,
your games,
your jealously,
you emotional demands
you have got a lot to learn

it is all right
but could you help me fly this kite?
could you help me feel so bright?
could you take me as a whole person –
and hold me tight
