A lie, a leer Oh why? Her tears No point reliving it, I was on fire From a safe vortex I tell of another time Innocence passed me by Terrible ogre cries Came the light of day Wiped the night away Found a sacred place In another's face I hope you're all right From a safe vortex I can't lift my wings to fly Fear of the open sky I'm paralysed I don't know what's true Just a point of view I can start anew Just a point of view

Say "Wot up?" and you never even mutter Hits the fan and you take it to the gutter Comes the man and you hide the melted butter It's pistols at dawn I demand satisfaction Better get ready for the afterlife! Ten paces, turn, close your eyes Won't see the sunrise Temptation: run, throw the gun No-one'd be surprised

I get all I need but I don't know if it's enough If I had all I see then I could never be in love A love so bright A life so long A windswept night A whispered song There's something in the breeze tonight There's voices from the past They're saying I don't need to fight It's hopeless, nothing lasts No light so bright No love so strong A wounded tyke A whispered song And I could be a priest of all I've understood to be right Or I could be deceased of all I never should have given any time And if you say I was wrong And if you say I lied I can't deny I banged the gong I had to feel alive
