Oh to be somewhere
Or somebody else
Oh to have someone
All to myself
Say that you love me
Say good lines
Say that the love you have
Won't ever die
In my head I hear a telephone
With the roundest ring
To the tune of a future
Where no God on high sings
From no wet hall of heaven
No great echoing song
Just the steam off a dream where
Absolutely nothing goes on
But me out of my mind
Feed my body to the crowd
I already feel pointless
The size and the shape of a cloud
All today, all at once
Everything changed, under the sun
Oh I was totally surprised, mentally preparing for years
When it flashed before my eyes, oh it was more than I could fear
My world far behind me, oh what a ringing of the ears...
Oh to be somewhere
Or somebody else
Oh to have someone
All to myself
Say that you love me
say no more lies
Say that the love you have
won't ever die
