I'd fly
(Tell me where my friends go)
To hidden places in the sky

I'm not the same ghost I was before
But I still converse with the spirits
When people talk, I don't hear it
I walk through doors when no one sees me
I disappear, disappear, disappear
Whenever it may please me

People act so proper when they're going 'bout their business
Cup of coffee, friendly conversation
'Til they get home,
'Til they get home
Take the phone off, lock the door and shut the curtains
Make sure that the neighbors are without suspicion

Oh boredom is so terrible, it's like a dread disease
Nothing could be worse
than when there's nothing on T.V.
I'd rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls
I've been reborn so many times
I can't remember them all
(And I say)

Hey, hey, hey, yay, hey
Hey, hey, hey, yay, yeah
And all I really want is all those things that I can't have
What I really want is to have you so bad
I'm so jealous, I can barely see straight from my head
And it burns from the inside 'till I wish I was dead

Walking round and round in circles
Waking up in a cold sweat
Falling down a stairway and the TV dinner's not done yet
Smash a window, crash a car
And buy a pair of leather shoes
Take a sweetheart to a movie
Cash a check and pay some dues

'Cause any second, it may end
And when it's all been said and done
Better that you had some fun

Remembering when I was a young man
How everything seemed to turn against me
I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place
The sun was covered by a dark cloud
And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape
The only way to go, straight down

In a perfect system
There's no confrontation
Unnecessary friction
To impede our concentration
We've simply done away with
Unnecessary friction
I live in a system
I got an occupation
I get enough nutrition
By eating protein biscuits

When I look in mirrors - faint reflection of you

Did ya hear about Fred, he's unemployed
They threw him away like a useless toy
He went down the drain after 20 long years
No warning, no pension and nobody's tears
And I can't believe that anyone would
Wanna do such a terrible thing
