Maybe one day, when I’m famous we could go out And write the World down like it really was Everything just like it happened And make them take our word for it Everybody wants to be your average Charismatic leader, moral bottom feeder Stick it in your hand, son Smarter than the average bear You want to keep it there, you want to keep it there It’s in the sand Buried up above its head there Holidays in Red Square. Better left for dead there Stick it to the Man But you’re better than your average Joe Because you just won’t show, because you just won’t show, because you can Tell a lie to take an eye Long-lost angel locked inside Better off than token of a wasted life So bye-bye Apple Pie High Maybe one day, when I’m famous we could go out And write the World down like it really was Everything just like it happened And make them take our word for it Oh when I’m famous we could go out And write the World down like it really was Everything just like it happened, yeh And make them take our word for it Every mission has to have a low rent Parasitic preacher, before it can reach you Standing at the back, Dad Sorry couldn’t shine more bright I couldn’t flee or fight, I couldn’t stand the sight, I couldn’t land Tell a lie to take an eye Long-lost angel locked inside Better off than token of a wasted life So bye-bye Apple Pie High Maybe one day, when I’m famous we could go out And write the World down like it really was Everything just like it happened And make them take our word for it Oh when I’m famous we could go out And write the World down like it really was Everything just like it happened, yeh And make them take our word for it

And now she’s walking in my house, a cat and mouse To take the magic from out of my mouth And now she’s walking in my room, a brand new broom To sweep the music from out of the tune In again and out again and up and down the line Incredibly sunshine comes out Innocence and arrogance that fall into the night Incidentally darkness abounds One more step to go, to walk across the line And everybody knows that she’s coming up slow Drink in the ambience of sin The hero and the author of your crime begins To wash out the silence from your mouth The oxygen and orphan of your vice breathes out And now she’s walking in my house And now she’s creeping in my head, and where I bled The ghost of conscience is waking my dead And in the corner of my mind, she starts to find The hands of reason begin to unwind ‘Turn to me’, she said to me, ‘and cover up the lies’ ‘I’ll give you the World’ I replied Carefully, eternally returning to the light We bury the union tonight One more step to go to walk across the line And everybody knows that she’s coming up slow Drink in the ambience of sin The hero and the author of your crime begins To wash out the silence from your mouth The oxygen and orphan of your vice breathes out And now she’s walking in my house

When I was young I had to be putting me face in the sun But now I’m old I need to be holding me hands in the cold So don’t paint me this way This skin will not wash away Put your hands in the snow And pull out a white one With my flesh coloured soul Let’s hope it’s the right one When you were me You had to go sinking your face in the sea But now it’s you Your colours are turning to shades of deep blue So don’t leave me to fade The red, the green and the grey Put your hands in the snow And pull out a white one With my flesh coloured soul Let’s hope it’s the right one Let’s hope it’s the right one Let’s hope it’s the right one When I was young I had to be putting me face in the sun Put your hands in the snow And pull out a white one With my flesh coloured soul Let’s hope it’s the right one Put your hands in the snow And pull out a white one With my flesh coloured soul Let’s hope it’s the right one
