About the Artist
Lyrics
It doesn't take a lot to confuse me I'm not aware of the passing of time And I'd like to say to those who accuse me Could you do it while you looked in my eye If you hold that primitive notion And if you think you'd like to try You can drink this magic potion And you can do it 'til the day that you, day that you die I've done it before and I'll do it again A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end How can it be that we're so far apart I want it to be like it did at the start I'm doing my best to confound you Your behaviour is so volatile Not even a zoo would impound you Don't look at me with your critical smile Well I've been driving in the wrong gear It's been a long and lonely ride It's been winter for a whole year But you couldn't hurt me if you tried I've done it before and I'll do it again Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end How can it be that we're so far apart I want it to be like it was at the start I've done it before and I'll do it again A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end How can it be that we're so far apart I want it to be like it did at the start I've got a message that I need to send It's coming to you straight from a friend I wanted to see what's inside my heart I wanted to be like it was at the start
