I seem to climb so high
They shooting me down
Shame so I walk in the dark
To the darkest street
As people pass you by
You look in their eyes
A signal so determined so strong Imagination
I count my bessings
I can see what I mean
I don't need to stand on your feet
I am complete
The TV showed me clearly
Youth is the same
The same crazy game of ideal and understanding
Let me see the open door
Do it spell of wonderment in the arms of extasy
Can it help unlearning me
Shall we dance I say I am
Do I know a free'r man
Do you hear me --
Where are the signs that stop me
Coming to get the sharpest and the innocent
Ya-Ya
I saw my daddy he was crying in shame
No-one was to blame, no-one knew
His secret name
But then the spring arrived
And carried him high
High sort of mystifying high I remember
And then the talking started
Perfume the night
A thought between the spleen and ideal couldn't harm the kids
Such wisdom only counts the counting of cost
Such is the dividing line
Between ideal and understanding
Let me see the open door
Do it stand for Victory
Does it help unlearning me
Can I lose my self control
As you gain the hidden soul
In a state reality, see the door of gravity, watch I
Universe University
Do it spell of wonderment in the arms of extasy
Does it help unlearning me
Am I born a free'r man
Can I say, I am I am
Do you hear me
Where are the signs that stop me
Coming to get the sharpest and the innocent
Let me see the open door
Do it stand for Victory
Does it help unlearning me
Can I lose my self control
Can I gain the hidden soul
In a state reality, see the door of gravity watch I
Universe University
Do it spell of wonderment in the arms of extasy
Does it help unlearning me
Am I born a free'r man
Can I say, I am I am
Do you hear me
Where are the signs that stop me
Coming to get the sharpest and the innocent, ya-ya
A simple solid game of words in the night
A thought between the spleen and ideal
Doesn't harm the kids
Such wisdom only counts the counting of cost
Such is the dividing line
Such is the dividing line
Such is the dividing line
