lyrics

It’s done, another setting sun
Another race has been run
We didn’t win but we sure had fun
Had enough of saccharine Hollywood love
Artificial preservative sweet
It tastes good now but you’ll feel sick in a week

I walk on water, I’m Jesus Christ
I’m a Syrian refugee, I’m in strife
I’m seeing everything in reverse — here, alone
I’m under fire, I’m Joan of Arc
I’m above the law, I’m Julian Assange
I’m feeling everything at once — here, alone

Caught between self-loathing and vanity
Always manic or depressive but I’m sick to death of the extremes
No way out of this circadian alarm clock life
There’s no such thing as too much time
It makes no difference Gregorian or Mayan

I’m glorified, I’m Genghis Khan
I’m in exile, I’m Napoleon Bonaparte
I’m seeing everything in reverse — here, alone
I’m Apollo 11, I shoot for the moon
I spiral down like Howard Hughes
I’m feeling everything at once — here, alone

Nothing keeps me down
No cinder block tied around
But sometimes it’s better to sink than float

I’m Philippe Petit, I’m never going to fall
I’m coming down like the Berlin Wall
I’m seeing everything in reverse — here, alone
I’m flying high, I’m Amelia Earhart
I’m the summer solstice, I’m never going dark
I’m feeling everything at once — here, alone
