You smile to sweeten what you're saying But you wound with your words so fine We all get the lives that we deserve What You're cruel to my kind Do you think that I've got no feelings Left to hurt inside Your aim is high and you don't miss much But my eyes are open wide If I'm gonna have to push the boat out To meet that tidal wave I'm gonna need more than a moment To find a face that's brave And if I'm looking in the desert To find the blazing flowers I'm gonna need more than a minute More like twenty four hours Run that by me one more time I gotta have a chance to recover Run that by me one more time I gotta have a chance Run that by me one more time Before you blow my mind and my cover Run that by me one more time Cos I'm strong enough So you saw this coming did you You give pride while I take the fall You never thought to warn me did you Just sit back and watch it all you straightjacket my dreams And chainsaw my intentions I hate to shatter your illusions But I'm strong enough to carry on If I'm gonna have to push the boat out To meet that tidal wave I'm gonna need more than a moment To find a face that's brave And if I'm looking in the desert To find the blazing flowers I'm gonna need more than a minute More like twenty four hours Run that by me one more time I gotta have a chance to recover Run that by me one more time I gotta have a chance Run that by me one more time Before you blow my mind and my cover Run that by me one more time Cos I'm strong enough I get crushed while you never mind I get crushed while you never mind And this is all the well I have Excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up I get crushed while you never mind I get crushed while you never mind And this is all the strength I have Excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up Run that by me one more time I gotta have a chance to recover run that by me one more time I gotta have a chance Run that by me one more time Before you blow my mind and my cover Run that by me one more time Cos I'm strong enough Run that by me one more time You don't feel love Run that by me one more time You don't feel why Repeat
