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
