skyclad - halo of flies lyrics
all you needed was somebody with a dream,
a fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
only dead fish float with the stream –
compared with you i seem like an extra-terrestrial.
i’m not your robin hood or peter pan,
i won’t play jesus christ – santa claus.
i’ll never p-ss for a superman –
i’m just an effect trying to find a cause.
tell me who am i, what am i and why am i here.
is it because i’m flesh and blood
that creature comforts feel so good?
i give my body all it needs –
it sleeps and eats and sh-ts and breeds.
and if i keep my feelings stum,
hard luck – bibo ergo sum.
just trying to do the best i can
is a giant leap for this small man.
all you needed was somebody with a dream,
a fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
only dead fish float with the stream –
compared with you i seem like an extra-terrestrial.
you say that life is a miracle –
i don’t believe one word.
forgive me for being so cynical –
from down here you all look absurd.
so are you happy now we all feel the same?
martyrs to the cause – boredom level nearing terminal.
you’re afraid to go against the grain,
next to you i feel like a shining intellectual.
james t. kirk – albert einstein,
sitting safe aboard the enterprise.
if you’re out there send me a sign –
i need somebody to sympathise with.
tell me who am i, what am i and why am i here.
must i succ-mb to every urge –
first feast and fast (then binge and purge).
my spirit’s strong – my flesh is weak,
i laugh and cry and scream and speak.
and sometimes when i feel confused,
i walk a path i did not choose.
watch my life on video –
a private homemade horror show.
all you needed was somebody with a dream,
a fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal.
only dead fish float with the stream –
compared with you i seem like an extra-terrestrial.
so are you happy now we all feel the same?
martyrs to the cause – boredom level nearing terminal.
you’re afraid to go against the grain,
next to you i feel like a shining intellectual.
you say that life is a miracle –
i don’t believe one word.
forgive me for being so cynical –
from down here you all look absurd.
