Who do you want to be today?
|
Choose another person
|
Ask yourself the question
|
How do you think he likes to dress?
|
Is he looking out for someone to impress?
|
Or is he just a loner?
|
|
Don't you travel far from home
|
Just reinvent the places
|
Avoid the known faces
|
These are the streets that you expected you'd outgrown
|
But you're only around the corner from home
|
And today you're not from around here
|
Today you've never been here
|
Today it's all so new here
|
|
And take the blindfold off now that we're stuck
|
And let you out the car without a frock
|
Just come back to me
|
|
You're shedding your own skin today
|
You're shedding your own skin today
|
left behind in corner
|
The secrets and the mourners
|
That isn't the life for an honorable man
|
So you're trying on the life of one who can
|
Call himself a hero
|
So walk a different street today
|
Just because you can do and nobody will know you
|
And if a passerby stops to say hello
|
You'll just tell them you really don't know
|
How the hell you got here
|
How the hell you got here
|
You know just how you got here
|
|
I'll drop you on a street the way we planned
|
And let you play the part of this new man
|
Just come back to me
|
|
Who do you want to be today?
|
Don't you travel far from home
|
Now won't you stay
|
Who do you want to be today?
|
Don't you travel far from home
|
Now won't you stay
|
|
You're shedding your own skin today
|
