Came to Find You

[Verse 1]
I came to find her, far across the world I came
Lookin' for my lover, lost shadow in the world game
The time she left me, burnin' like a bird on fire
Puppet on a melting wire, windup spring unwound
She found love then, dancin' on the money box
Tyin' up the thought fox, givin' me the runaround
Gender gap, tender spot, she loved me, she loved me not
Turnin' on her heel, she got married on the rebound
And now I'm sittin' here having coffee with you
Wondеrin' who you are today
Do you still have sugar in your cappuccino?
Do your eyеs still flutter away?
I'm feelin' like the man that fell to Earth
Doesn't recognise the pulse
I'm startin' to wonder just who we are
I came to find you, now I'm tryna convince myself
That I'm not somebody else
Da da da da dee, ah dee do da dee
Dee dee dee dee dn do do do-ee yeah

[Verse 2]
Old age, new age, trap the bird inside the cage
Pleasing Daddy leads to rage, theatre in the round eye
Blazin' crazy
Happy, sad, time bomb, swingin' on a pendulum
Who can calculate the sum? Sleeping with the outcome's
Easy peasy
Say cheese, smile please, bare your teeth but not your soul
Sex and hugs and shock control, tryin' hard, pushin' for your
Own space
Fear of not enough for me, left alone without a lover
Movin' target finds its cover, livin' 'tween a cushion and a
Soft place
You say you will no longer walk the path of fear
Step out of Nintendo game
Warrior woman will shed no tears
She will generate no blame
But time is a river of deep beliefs
Step out of the surface or drown
To swim back upstream, tryna grasp a past dream
It's hard to face the fact that in this fiction
I'm livin' on my own
Da dee da yeah da, ya day dahdle day day
Do day day, day ooh dn day-ee-ayy do do

[Verse 3]
Here I sit now in a theatre in the round
Watch you dance without a sound, are we dead or are we in the
Dreamtime?
Fellow travellers round the fire, watch you walk the high thought-wire
Watchin' for the flyer to inspire us
Real time
They come to see and to be seen, the real dramas they play between
The acts and encores 'tween the scenes, read between the songlines
To show your vulnerability demands intense humility
'Cause human fallibility knows self esteem is simply mainly
Ego, there you go, most of the time
Once I was a teacher in a circle of ghosts
None of them believed they were dead
I closed my eyes and took them to the mountain
But we went down a stairway instead
We dug up our bodies and many old fears
Shook out dusty wings to fly
I began to wonder what I was doin' this for
But I forgot to ask then
Just what it's like to die
Yuh da da da, ah yuh da da da day
Ya da da you, yae yeah
