All you needed was somebody with a dream, |
|
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. |
|
Only dead fish float with the stream - |
|
Compared with you |
|
I seem like an extra-terrestrial. |
|
I'm not your |
|
Robin Hood or |
|
Peter Pan, |
|
I won't play |
|
Jesus Christ - |
|
Santa Claus. |
|
I'll never pass for a superman - |
|
I'm just an effect trying to find a cause. |
|
Tell me who am |
|
I, what am |
|
I and why am |
|
I here. Is it because |
|
I'm flesh and blood |
|
That creature comforts feel so good? |
|
I give my body all it needs - |
|
It sleeps and eats and shits and breeds. |
|
And if I keep my feelings stum, |
|
Hard luck - bibo ergo sum. |
|
Just trying to do the best |
|
I can Is a giant leap for this small man. |

|
You say that life is a miracle - |
|
I don't believe one word. |
|
Forgive me for being so cynical - |
|
From down here you all look absurd. |
|
So are you happy now we all feel the same? |
|
Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal. |
|
You're afraid to go against the grain, |
|
Next to you |
|
I feel like a shining intellectual. |
|
James T. Kirk - |
|
Albert Einstein, |
|
Sitting safe aboard the |
|
Enterprise. |
|
If you're out there send me a sign - |
|
I need somebody to sympathise with. |
|
Tell me who am |
|
I, what am |
|
I and why am |
|
I here. Must |
|
I succumb to every urge - |
|
First feast and fast (then binge and purge). |
|
My spirit's strong - my flesh is weak, |
|
I laugh and cry and scream and speak. |
|
And sometimes when i feel confused, |
|
I walk a path |
|
I did not choose. |
|
Watch my life on video - |
|
A private homemade horror show. |
