One Of a Kind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos on top of the world is where I'm from
The back of the class is where I was
Keeping quiet playing dumb
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos the back of the class is where I'm from
And I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm in a race and it's killing time
I don't need yours I'll keep it with mine
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos I'm in a race and I'm doing fine
Thank you
Two of a kind and no-one home
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos one of a kind is all I own
I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
Out of the womb and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the womb and into the void
I am one
I am
I am one
II am, I am, I am, I am
I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
On top of the world you get nothing done
