| Let’s walk on by, this time, this time
|
| Let’s keep it right, just like it used to be
|
| It’s such a long and wasted ride
|
| When you’re on your own, when you’re all alone
|
| I throw a word in for the real men
|
| Hey driver man, hey cardboard man
|
| On a cardboard scene you know it’s never make-believe
|
| Now, do you believe in me?
|
| And freedom’s only what they strip away from you
|
| You fight back
|
| But what you gain is nothing like it
|
| Let’s walk on by
|
| It’s a mellow song and I mean it well
|
| So don’t you trample me down!
|
| Cause it took a lot of nerve
|
| For me to try and come across
|
| Let’s do it, let’s do it right
|
| I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
|
| Let’s do it, let’s do it right
|
| Right now, right now
|
| And don’t you ever walk away from me
|
| I’m gonna need you round for the rebound
|
| I search myself for sheets of paper
|
| Some little stain, some little stain
|
| And this is all conclusive evidence
|
| Everybody rise, I rest my case
|
| Right now, right now
|
| I find it hard being strong these days
|
| I find it very hard, hard
|
| And even harder in the night-time
|
| When all these clouds come down
|
| I find I’m very, very, hard to define
|
| I could not be electric animal’s, front-man
|
| All distorted, all noise
|
| And this is never, ever, my familiar voice |
