Lyrics

Declarer

[Verse 1]

You in your youth, all impulse

Have no friends who are reliable

[Chorus]

As long as I’m stayin'

I never will belong

Ooh, belong

[Verse 2]

When no depths are reliable

Prepare your lines, leave off casting

[Chorus]

As long as I’m stayin'

I never will belong

Ooh, belong

Ooh, belong
