[Face Off]
|
Lots of them
|
You know there's lots of them
|
There's reasons
|
Everyday changes my mind like the seasons
|
I'm asking for answers
|
I'm looking in mirrors
|
Ripples in rivers
|
Face just drifting away, away
|
|
Where's the reasoning?
|
Yes and no are neither good enough
|
Gimme some of that, gimme some of that, gimme some of that, spontaneity stuff
|
Blink before you think too hard
|
Saw your smile in a passing car
|
|
Borrowed your pen
|
I wanna write like you do again and again and again and again
|
Riots in the uniform of peace
|
Coupla big ones up your sleeve
|
|
Ten to nine and it's shut down the factory
|
Pull up the floorboards and build a bonfire
|
Having a party in your head
|
Sniff this greezer! And go to bed!
|
|
Turned off the light
|
Stayed up all night
|
Blown to bits!
|
Shrivelled up opened out and exploded
|
Where he usually sits
|
|
Go to it youth
|
Discover the truth
|
Don't bottle it up
|
Cos it's 99% proof
|
|
[Youth]
|
No no it's not how old you are
|
Not the blushing brides and the propped up bar
|
After the bells have rung
|
And the next perspective has begun
|
|
Not the corner of some foreign field
|
Not the name engraved on stainless steel
|
Not the thank you note for inventing the wheel
|
But an innocence dressed in knowing too much
|
Never scared to theorise but half scared to touch
|
But rejecting the world that made it such
|
|
Oh to be as youthful as I am
|
Oh to be as manic as you are
|
Oh to be as worried in our happiness
|
But never will we be so near
|
Yet look so far
|
Be so near
|
Yet look so far
|
Yet look so far
|
|
Beyond the social attitudes
|
That narrow the path and distort the view
|
Complacency defies energy
|
And the other way round
|
|
We grow as fast as time is slow
|
We grow as fast as time is slow
|
We grow as fast as time is slow
|
Enough to keep our head to the ground
|
For youthfulness is a louder sound
|
Than age - that turning of the page - can make
|
A forced resemblance of getting old
|
Left the majority feeling cold
|
Forgot that energy never gets old
|
We grow with what we'll always know
|
And feel the sense of experience
|
Experience - Youth, youth
|
Experience - Youth, youth
|
Experience - Youth
|
