Lyrics
0:06This fascination
0:07Where did it come from
0:10What does it mean
0:12When your fascinated by things
0:16But you know you＇ll never see
0:21I overheard this conversation
0:23As it started to belong to me
0:29Your convinced that where your
0:31Born is where your from
0:33No your convinced that where
0:35Your born is not where your from
0:38It's only where your
0:41Waiting to see it through
0:45And not understanding why i had to
0:52Be reminded that i＇ll tell you when i
0:55Waiting for longer than i had to
1:00Or could you just tell me now
1:04Couldn't you tell me now
1:09Even more money spent
1:12Nothing left to go round
1:16Even more money spent
1:18Nothing left to go round
1:22All these descriptions
1:30Where did they come from
1:32Do they describe what you mean
1:35Perfectly
1:36And how can i explain to you
1:42How i know that
1:44It's a natual order of the things that i believe
1:51Your convinced that where your
1:53Born is where your from
1:56No your convinced that where
2:00Your born is not where your from
2:04It's only where your
2:07Waiting to see it through
2:08Not understanding why i had to
2:12Be reminded that i＇ll tell you when i
2:17Waiting for longer than i had to
2:21Or could you just tell me now
2:26Couldn't you tell me now
2:31Even more money spent
2:34Nothing left to go round
2:38Even more money spent
2:41Nothing left to go round
2:44Nothing left to go round
2:48Nothing left to go round
2:51Nothing left to go round
This fascination Where did it come from What does it mean When your fascinated by things But you know you＇ll never see I overheard this conversation As it started to belong to me Your convinced that where your Born is where your from No your convinced that where Your born is not where your from It's only where your Waiting to see it through And not understanding why i had to Be reminded that i＇ll tell you when i Waiting for longer than i had to Or could you just tell me now Couldn't you tell me now Even more money spent Nothing left to go round Even more money spent Nothing left to go round All these descriptions Where did they come from Do they describe what you mean Perfectly And how can i explain to you How i know that It's a natual order of the things that i believe Your convinced that where your Born is where your from No your convinced that where Your born is not where your from It's only where your Waiting to see it through Not understanding why i had to Be reminded that i＇ll tell you when i Waiting for longer than i had to Or could you just tell me now Couldn't you tell me now Even more money spent Nothing left to go round Even more money spent Nothing left to go round Nothing left to go round Nothing left to go round Nothing left to go round
