In your ivory tower We pull the covers off Against another spiteful day It was you who took me You took me away From this place to a curious cage
But please keep me close It was you kept away, sent away Unlooked for today But please hold me close It was you kept away, sent away Untouched for today
[Chorus] Half meek, half wild How I love my halfway child Halfway child smiled How I love my halfway child, child
Oh yes, things move faster here Wondering aimlessly Questioning everything For a charm and a smile Trying to make your way From this place to a curious cage
But please keep me close It was you kept away, sent away Unlooked for today But please hold me close It was you kept away, sent away Untouched for today
[Chorus] Half meek, half wild How I love my halfway child Halfway child smiled How I love my halfway child
In your ivory tower We'll look out at all the land That you have in your power Is this the life that you had planned
In your ivory tower We'll look out at all the land That you have in your power Is this the life that you had planned
