I was hanging upside-down from the overpass

Waiting to discover something about the world

I couldn't get with the program

And I couldn't listen to them

It was like trying to think in reverse



And I don't wanna slide into apathy

And I don't wanna die in captivity

But these monsters

Follow me around

Hunting me down

Try to wipe me out

Wipe me out...

Wipe me out...

Wipe me out...



Yeah I was hiding away underwater

Waiting for distance and buying some time

Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger

So I could excuse myself from human kind

Coz I don't wanna be a container

Or a bastard with a ten page dislaimer

But these monsters

Spin me around

Get me down!

Just try to shut me out

Shut me out...

Shut me out...

Shut me out...



Hold it in your hand

Hold it in your hand

Hold it in your hand...

Believe it me, believe in it, believe...



(shut me out) repeats thruout verse

I was hiding away underwater

Waiting for distance, waiting for time.

And I don't wanna slide into apathy, and I don't

And I don't wanna live in captivity



Ohh ohh ohh, Ohh Ohh Ohhhh (shut me out)
