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 pass 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 shits 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 succumb 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
