This song is full of opposites, as Todd Rundgren takes on a very hypocritical character, covering a broad span of important topics.
[Verse 1]
I take, I lend
I make, I spend
I think, I act
Extend, retract
I freak, I cope
I doubt, I hope
Collide-A-Scope
I sleep, I wake
I'm real, I'm fake
I walk, I ride
I seek, I hide
I'm fast, I'm slow
I'm high, I'm low
Collide-A-Scope
I'm good, I'm bad
I'm glad, I'm sad
I'm poor, I'm rich
I keep, I switch
I ebb, I flow
I'm friend, I'm foe
Collide-A-Scope
[Chorus]
Collide-A-Scope
Collide-A-Scope
Collide-A-Scope
Collide-A-Scope
[Verse 2]
I talk, I hear
I'm brave, I fear
I lead, I trail
I'm freed, I'm jailed
I'm to, I'm fro
I catch, I throw
Collide-A-Scope
I'm right, I'm wrong
I'm short, I'm long
I stay, I leave
I bob, I weave
I'm dull, I glow
I guess, I know
Collide-A-Scope
I'm false, I'm true
I'm old, I'm new
I float, I sink
I stare, I blink
I'm yes, I'm no
Goodbye, hello
Collide-A-Scope
[Chorus]
Collide-A-Scope
Collide-A-Scope
Collide-A-Scope
Collide-A-Scope
[Verse 3]
We live, we die
We laugh, we cry
We're here, we're gone
We're dusk, we're dawn
We come, we go
We doubt, we hope
Collide-A-Scope
We love, we hate
We start, we wait
We curse, we pray
We birth, we slay
We're high, we're low
We're friend, we're foe
Collide-A-Scope
We give, we take
We're real, we're fake
We're there, we're here
We're brave, we fear
We're to, we're fro
We guess, we know
Collide-A-Scope
[Outro]
We live, we die
We laugh, we cry
We're here, we're gone
We are dusk, we're dawn
We're yes, we're no
Goodbye, hello
