Squeeze - Big Beng lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

The liberator of sin

The giver of delight

I took the drug

And went out like a light

I giggled on the bed

As I stared at the wall

I was the one who felt ever so small

I couldn't take it

I couldn't win with my thoughts

Forever playing chess

And keeping reports

On whatever I saw

And whatever moved

I was emperor for an hour

I had nothing else to do

The universe caved in

My legs fell away

I took the drug but you didn't say

That I would be you and you would be me

When I took the pill

That put me to sleep

I couldn't take it

I couldn't spin all the plates

Forever in a mind field of personal games

What could I do

I was Caesar of Rome

Thank God I woke up

To find you had come home
