lyrics

It’s always a fantasy to wanna be
To be adored even by bitter enemies
To be secure in the knowledge that you’ll always be
A little notch above the gods they keep

Trying to believe in a crystal-like time
When all the words that you say, the response will be kind
There’s no need for any level of emulation
Coming at you ‘live’ it’s a sordid nation

Neon lights passing by my side
I feel joy, don’t complicate my life
Am alone with my thoughts, am feeling safe
Don’t come with your questions filled with love and hate
to me, I wouldn’t know what to think of you

Oh Julie do be aware
I walk away from your killer concern
Oh to you questions may seem fair
Just don’t discount the way your words burn

Ten years after and you’re all worn out
You’re out of verve, out of shout
Huffing and puffing, bile is boiling
Smile on your face, decay showing

The company you keep doesn’t know you well
It’s better that way, better than hell
of knowing you are all alone in a world of six billion
you connect to zero

Obvious does what obvious is
You get away with all, you get away with it
Lament and moan, cower and groan
Etched in stone, your legacy could be, dashing mediocrity

Oh Julie do be aware
I walk away from your killer concern
Oh to you questions may seem fair
Just don’t discount the way your words burn
