lyrics

Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtains up and house lights down
I sing love songs and pass myself around
But afterwards
Some people say they thought I put them down
They feel so bad
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day

They seem so trapped
They need release
They need your strong love and strange peace

Reporters question me, is this a new direction for the young
How lamb like their faces
How snake like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced we're all some new kind of freaks
I feel so good
It does not matter what they say
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
I hope tomorrow they have a better day

We're all so trapped
We need release
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
