David & The Citizens - Stop The Tape! Stop The Tape! lyrics

I've come a long way since you thought you knew me well

How could you know me when I didn't know myself?

A stranger in my own skin

A little boy just waiting

Can't grow up fast enough, can't get out fast enough

And sometimes when I crack, the animals are back

Sometimes when I speak there's someone alse inside of me

And every now and then

The kid comes back, this precious friend, he won't let go

I told you so

How can I let you in?

How to describe this feeling?

I've left all words behind

I've thrown them in the river

The storm is gathering, I feel it in my skin

I saw the moon go black, I felt my heart collapse

And sometimes when I crack, the animals are back again

Sometimes when I crash, I'm seeing colors not existing

And all the time I hear this little kid's voice

There ain't no choice, he won't let go

I told you so

I wanted to stop the tape

I wanted to freeze the frame

I saw it on TV, the bed's already made for me

So heaven, dress me in a white sheet, lay me in a rusty bed

Heaven take the ceiling off me

Help me put the pieces back
