lyrics

Born into the human war
Though I never really knew what for
Swept up by blood flow

Born in time, born with tears
Born to a million people's fears
Born with room to grow

Born by a song from a distant shore
I floated down to my mother's door
She brought me in from the cold

Ain't it funny the way change comes creeping up on you
Though you are not quite ready for what it has to give?
A basket full of doubt sits abandoned by the road side
As a pack of a judges feed on it as their death row meal
And you learn a young woman's name

And the world comes whirling 'round with light years abandoned
Keeping a feeling underground and a concept in the sink
While your money burns like paper, while you're waiting to feel safer
The game is underway but the players are nowhere even near the field
They're in the back room discussing the same old grumpy plans

I can fly like tiger paper, I can sing like a tattooed whale
Got a private elevator and a ship that needs no sails
I got many destinations and just as many ways to get there
And you want to tell me that it's all the same, but man I'm not as tired as you
I've got a royal purple diamond for every wrinkle in your head
