lyrics

All the small-time spirits - together, they just consume, consume
I was not the first, you're not the first to leave a dead impression
Jealous of ideas you threw away, you're not the first, you're not
'Cause you can't see colour

I know this guy yeah he was drifting higher, dripping irony
I know this guy yeah he was here a month ago
I know this guy yeah he was here alone

Waking every day is just like being born - struggling and complaining into the light
What's the point of anyone else having an imagination?
You only like what I do when it suits you
This is aimed at you and you and you

I know this guy yeah he was drifting higher, dripping irony
I know this guy yeah he was here a month ago
I know this guy yeah he was here alone

You stand so righteously over me

I know this guy yeah he was drifting higher, dripping irony
I know this guy yeah he was here a month ago
I know this guy yeah he was here alone
