All you needed was somebody with a dream,
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal
Only dead fish float with the stream -
Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial

I'm not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan,
I won't play Jesus Christ - Santa Claus
I'll never pass for a superman -
I'm just an effect trying to find a cause

Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here

Is it because I'm flesh and blood
That creature comforts feel so good?
I give my body all it needs -
It sleeps and eats and shits and breeds

And if I keep my feelings stum,
Hard luck - bibo ergo sum
Just trying to do the best I can
Is a giant leap for this small man

All you needed was somebody with a dream,
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal
Only dead fish float with the stream -
Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial

You say that life is a miracle -
I don't believe one word
Forgive me for being so cynical -
From down here you all look absurd

So are you happy now we all feel the same?
Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal
You're afraid to go against the grain,
Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual

James T Kirk - Albert Einstein,
Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise
If you're out there send me a sign -
I need somebody to sympathise with

Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here

Must I succumb to every urge -
First feast and fast (then binge and purge)
My spirit's strong - my flesh is weak,
I laugh and cry and scream and speak

And sometimes when i feel confused,
I walk a path I did not choose
Watch my life on video -
A private homemade horror show

All you needed was somebody with a dream,
A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal
Only dead fish float with the stream -
Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial

So are you happy now we all feel the same?
Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal
You're afraid to go against the grain,
Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual

You say that life is a miracle -
I don't believe one word
Forgive me for being so cynical -
From down here you all look absurd
