Taking On The World

When i think of the times

that i wished that i could have

been you

was i really frightened

never turned a hair, playing the

field like a king

you were a diamond in a coalmine

were you just living out that song

and whose fault thaat you got it all wrong

so falls the sungod as you were

Taking on the world

somehow the world just knocked

you over

taking on the world

we thought you were flying you

were really

dying... goodbye

It's so hard to go up to a friend

when defences are down

wheen he is a rival

were you just too proud

to show us what we couldn't see

only survival and a lifeline

you could have used a helping hand

you could havegiven me one chance to listen

so falls the sungod as you were

Do you know you're grown up

when you know you know nothing at all

starting out from zero

when you've watched your friend

falling apart from inside

you saw a hero not a falling angel

if looks could kill you'd kill on sight

when all the time you were

freezing in sunlight

so falls the sungod as you were
