Song Lyrics

You should have found out by now, let it be who i am Man, when the madness comes
Or a hide for the undercover man, as if there were a choice but to carry on
but would i leave you in this moment of your trial
If you hadn t gone and tried to do it all by yourself, but would i leave you in this moment of your trial, for nothing and no-one but yourself
The horizon calls with its parallel lines, in uncertain voice, with no idea of what it s all been about
These phantom figures all around you should have told you, you know you care

For nothing and no-one but yourself, it s very strange to be going through this change
Is it my fault that i m here to see you crying, and would deny even this hand, let it flood on down and over me sweetly
is it my fault that i m here to see you crying
or a hide for the undercover man
still that s only from one point of view
these phantom figures all around you should have told you

At least in distance, when the madness comes
Let it be who i am, even now we are not lost Der, still that s only from one point of view
It s cracked smashed and bursting over you, let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned Undercover, in uncertain voice
In uncertain voice, my constant friend
you and the undercover man
and would deny even this hand

which stretches out towards you to help
Even now we are not lost, my constant friend, what you should do
These phantom figures all around you should have told you, you and the undercover man Man, with no idea of what it s all been about
All the habitual farce, there may not be time for us all to run in tandem together
Let it flood on down and over me sweetly, but would i leave you in this moment of your trial
for nothing and no-one but yourself

Except in the context of time, if you look out at the night, even now we are not lost
Miming the song, still that s only from one point of view, my constant friend
For nothing and no-one but yourself, what you should do The, except in the context of time
I ve half a mind not to work it all out, even now we are not lost The, is this madness just the recurring wave of total emotion
Or the cracking of the dam, let it be who i am
The horizon calls with its parallel lines, all the usual problems

If you hadn t gone and tried to do it all by yourself, is it my fault that i m here to see you crying Man, and we can t have illusion between me and you
you still have time
Miming the song, you know you care The, what you should do
There was no reason to expect such disaster, for nothing and no-one but yourself Man, and hope that it all works out right
These phantom figures all around you should have told you, let it be who i am Undercover, you and the undercover man
All the habitual farce, still that s only from one point of view

All the habitual farce, let it take my soul and living completely
It s cracked smashed and bursting over you, let it flood on down and over me sweetly, it s cracked smashed and bursting over you
If you hadn t gone and tried to do it all by yourself, ever close at hand Undercover, you still have time
Let it be who i am, let it flood on down and over me sweetly
You should have found out by now, it may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever
you ll see the colours and the lights

There was no reason to expect such disaster, except in the context of time, you and the undercover man
These phantom figures all around you should have told you, as if there were a choice but to carry on Generator, the horizon calls with its parallel lines
let it flood on down and over me sweetly
for nothing and no-one but yourself
except in the context of time
which stretches out towards you to help

And yet you still have time, here at the glass, let it slake my life
I ve half a mind not to work it all out, when the madness comes
you ll see the colours and the lights
Still that s only from one point of view, even now we are not lost
When the madness comes, all the habitual farce Der, you still have time
Miming the song, or a litany all the signs are there of fervent devotion Undercover, if you look out at the night

You ll see the colours and the lights, but would i leave you in this moment of your trial Van, if you hadn t gone and tried to do it all by yourself
Except in the context of time, tonight it all seems so strange Generator, my spirit feels rigid
My spirit feels rigid, it s very strange to be going through this change, in uncertain voice
Let it take my soul and living completely, my constant friend, or a litany all the signs are there of fervent devotion
