(Now repeat these words behind me, "I am what I am". And that's all you are: you are what you believe you are.)
You're thinking about tomorrow,
You're walking a very fine line,
Blowing smoke in the distance,
Someone's got their piece of mind.
You say you've got the answer boy, but I'd bet you really do,
Show me a different side of life and I'll subscribe too.
Babe, you look so perfect,
Believe me I've played the game,
I put on the robe and sandals, walked the mercy mile in vain.
Talk is only blowing smoke,
Yeah the fire's in your veins,
You could paint the sky any colour you like but the answers, they never change.
You've got a vain solution.
I've got a way,
Strip down your fake sensation - your shadow play.
Shot down from the pulpit,
Another burning cross,
I could throw a stone a mile today and never, ever count the cost.
Yet I am just a man,
As frail as a newborn babe,
Weakness is the only strength in me,
Your forgiveness is the only way.
You've got a vain solution.
I've got a way,
Strip down your fake sensation - your shadow play.
