Talking to yourself in the second person You're the second person to point that out No, I wasn't acting out, but I was rehearsing You work it out, I've been working things out Talking to myself in the second person I'm the second person to miss that point Pointed out I'm acting now, under spells and curses You work it out, I've been working things out Look out over your hair at the crowd It's not fair, don't you know I'm not allowed? Look out, out at the scrolls we have found Such pretty words from such sad clowns Look out over yourself at the crowd Fair enough, here I am, what now? Looked out, out at the clouds, not the ground Not much above but don't look down You're the teacher here, so please, come and teach me I was somewhere there, but you could not reach me Sickly preachers crouching where you could not see But don't look down You're the boss I fear when I've stopped working Often toss and turn when there's nothing burning Is your conscience clear, is your clean heart hurting Mister sure and proud? You whispered codes in hushed tones in the dark Is that so? Is that right? Well, I did my part Making sounds out where you're hanged in the town Lent a hand, lent a limb, priced it up Don't look down Tricked in full and pulled in feet first Go ahead, it's said, do your very worst Lashing out, lost what beauty's about You can work it out, I'm not working this out You're the war I fear when peacetime's lifting Often all too near when I've stopped enlisting Keep your cold hands heated in your own conceit It's gotten old by now Will you dig me out when the bombs are falling? All my eyes wide open to your hem-and-hawing I'll come late at night, find your intentions thawing In the lost and found It escapes me now, but once I knew you All our crimes collect, but once this day is through I will sing out loud the only way I do With or without you Yeah, all our crimes collect under the sordid covers All ways led to here in one way or another Soon to disappear, here behind broken shutters I will think out loud Don't look down
