Coming Out

Never mind the starting gun, cover's up, the curtain's drawn
Standing in the outline
Pin the medal to the floor, the hero to the open door
Skin is only outside
Don't cut me down, don't bring me round, don't break my fall
I'm coming out today
Don't take me back, don't change at all
I'm coming out today
Cut into decision day, we move ahead in different ways
Standing in the outline
We move the arrow to the cross, the building to the butcher block
Skin is only outside, I don't mind
Don't cut me down, don't bring me round, don't break my fall
I'm coming out today
Don't take me back, don't change at all
I'm coming out today
Everybody's gone again, falling out and falling into
His father's on his knees again reaching out for reason and truth
Don't cut me down, don't bring me round, don't break my fall
I'm coming out today
Don't take me back, don't change at all
I'm coming out today
