It's so strange seeming, like a friends mothers perfume That you can be what you want. Anointed genius, poets, good fucks Yeah you can be what you want
Anyway can't shake the feeling I spent all my splendour long ago And though I rarely see it Your other side glitters like gold, It never shows that
My mind will always fight me, with both sides claiming victory Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me Vanity dance around me Whatever you think about me I'm the whale beneath this ship who would ever believe me?
I should say something, They seem to like me better If I just sing nonsense
Anyway never written honest Though some times I think I should But to share these feelings Would only hurt the ones I love They know enough that
My mind will always fight me, with both sides claiming victory Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me Vanity dance around me Whatever you think about me I'm the whale beneath this ship who would ever believe me?
I guess I'm not what you wanted, A naive streak that I wont shake Keeps me cold
My mind will always fight me, with both sides claiming victory Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me Vanity dance around me Whatever you think about me I'm not half the kid I used to be who would ever believe me?
