Hold out your hand
There`s so much we don`t understand
So stick as close as you can

To all of your best laid plans

You`ve got the white clouds hanging so high above you

You`ve got the helicopters dangling angling to shoot
The shots to feed the hungry weekend news crew anchormen


So every evening we can watch from above
Crush the cities like a bug
Fold ourselves into each other`s guts

Turn our faces up to the sun

I won`t take no

I won`t let you go
All by yourself
I know you need my help


When the cold light shakes you like a chandelier
The snowfl akes break through the atmosphere

And melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear
Once i thought the world was crazy
Everyone was sad and chasing

Happiness and love and
I was the only one above it


Once i thought without a doubt
I had it all fi gured out
Universe with hands unseen

I was cold as gasoline

Took too long to see

I was wrong to believe in me only

Once my life was a game so unfair

It beat me down and kept me there
Unaware of my naysaying
Solitaire was all i was playing


Took too long to see
I was wrong to believe in me only
