lyrics

I wish it was me
at the piano you see
playing daily in this rain
but I don't know his name
just that he looks the same
but lives
on a refrain

there’s a girl in the garden
I’d like to know her name
I’d like to tell her plain
I am the same
but when I see her face
I’m in a different place
I live
on a refrain

there’s a place I go
where the people know
me
they tell me
where to stand
and the music in my mind
goes all quiet for a time

so I've employed policemen
they live at my back door
I've scratched at all their faces
our blood drips on the floor
they say
you can't run away
you can't run anymore

but pilots in the masquerade
say come on baby fly away
take your rivercoat and play
the wind
these technicolor drops of time
will stain the fabric of
your mind
go live
go live
go live

there’s a place I go
where the people know
me
they tell me
where to stand
and the music in my mind
goes all quiet for a time
