lyrics

I am not a villain, I just try to remain
Still, as when the night falls and the lights in the hall
They fade away
Like songbird chirps
When they go at dusk
To find another place

I am not a better man than the child I was then
When leather sandals hurt my feet, my wit, my runs
Behind the marching band.
Now they seem more
All these things I’ve stored
Up in my head

I am keen for innocence, let it live in any sentence
Brought down from kingdom come. They won't save us, son,
Let them amuse:
I look up at noon
For a different tune
I hope it comes soon

I am not a villain, I just try to regain
That creed in grandma’s hands, that Bill sang like no one can
But now he rests
With songbirds’ chirps
That the morning takes
As the prayers sit

I am keen for innocence, let it live in any sentence
Brought down from kingdom come. They won't save us, son,
Let them amuse:
I look up at noon
For a different tune
I hope it comes soon

I’ll refuse obedience to stale and lifeless sentences
Penned down by copywriters from the holes of vicious miners
That the world still approves:
I look up at noon
For a whole new tune
I hope it comes soon
