Turn me on and face me to the world Back me up far enough So I can watch and learn how I'm supposed to be Through these eyes in my head Life begins the wheels start to spin around Don't live in fantasies Just be on your way Here's a list of all your priorities Make us proud to say: We're the parents of a good machine Keep your eyes straight ahead Take your vitamins like we said You'll be fine I guess your first test is to see how you can fit in Finally I feel like I'm alive I was nothing but a dream in disguise I was silent before now I finally get to say How I see it all so strange My destiny is on a timeline with fate Let me dream awhile For the chance of a life to be Nine to five now systems overload Just trying to get by living in the mode: Work first then find the time To drink it away To try and hide depressions of my days Now I'm fine But the dirt in my ale is at the bottom of every pint Finally I feel like I'm alive I was dying on the inside out I was silent today now I finally get to say How I've been feeling so strange I've been dancing on a wire with fate They can cramp my style but they can't take it away Finally I feel like I'm alive I was dying on the inside out I was silent for years now I finally get to say How I've been feeling so strange I've been dancing on a wire with fate They can cramp my style But they can't take it away
