When I was born the doctor said
"there's something wrong inside that baby head"
when I was a boy in sunday school
I told them all that they were fools

All in a day's work
to live and breathe, a sight to see
and so it goes

I went into
the fortune teller's
she wouldn't read
my horoscope
I go into
the laundromat
the people all
buy extra soap

All in a day's work
to live and breathe, a sight to see
all in a day's work
to live and breathe, a sight to see

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
there was nothing that I wouldn't do
to keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
now you're here and begging for a chance
but there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
a mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new

We were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town
we were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

Take all the goods from all the bads
and tell the people that you've gone away
now lift your head up to the sky
now you can tell apart the black from the white

We waste the time they treasure dear
my only thought is that they could be right
oh look there goes another year
about as distant as a satellite

And I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe, so safe

The world's a small child in the dark
and my mind's the same place as it's always been
the monsters seem to fade so fast
upon the waking of another dream

And I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, I feel so brave

I'm not afraid of anything they've got to say
and you're ok because you're tucked away
don't go astray, you've got to be just who you are
who you are

When I was young things didn't last
my only care stemmed to the price of sweets
now I am older I can laugh
a dolly mixed up man with rotten teeth

And I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe
and I feel safe, so safe, so safe
