Lyrics

0:57It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
1:00I'm not aware of the passing of time
1:04And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
1:08Could you do it while you looked in my eye
1:11If you hold on primitive notion
1:14And if you think you'd like to try
1:18You can drink this magic potion
1:22And you can do it 'til the day that you
1:24The day that you die
1:26I've done it before and I'll do it again
1:29A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
1:33How can it be that we're so far apart
1:37I want it to be like it did at the start
1:54I'm doing my best to confound you
1:58Your behaviour is so volatile
2:02Not even a zoo would impound you
2:05Don't look at me with your criticle smile
2:08Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
2:12It's been a long and lonely ride
2:16It's been winter for a whole year
2:19But you couldn't hurt me if you tried
2:23I've done it before and I'll do it again
2:27Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
2:31How can it be that we're so far apart
2:34I want it to be like it did at the start
4:04I've done it before and I'll do it again
4:07A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
4:11How can it be that we're so far apart
4:14I want it to be like it did at the start
4:18I've got a message that I need to send
4:21It's coming to you straight from a friend
4:25I wanted to see what's inside my heart
4:29I want it to be like it was at the start
It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
I'm not aware of the passing of time
And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye
If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think you'd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it 'til the day that you
The day that you die
I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
I'm doing my best to confound you
Your behaviour is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Don't look at me with your criticle smile
Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
It's been a long and lonely ride
It's been winter for a whole year
But you couldn't hurt me if you tried
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start
I've got a message that I need to send
It's coming to you straight from a friend
I wanted to see what's inside my heart
I want it to be like it was at the start
