I, I am the only one
There is nobody else
This whole world, I put it there
I dreamed it up myself
Well it was just an accident
I didn’t plan it out
If it wasn’t for that small mistake
None of you would be about
I know I’m quite elusive
And that makes some folk doubt
Some say that I’m abusive
Well, figure that one out
Maybe you saw me in a mosque
Or singing in the nave
Maybe you heard me in a hymn
Or standing by a grave
I, I am the only one
I am in your head
Oh I, I am the only one
And when all is said and done
I’m gone
Some say I’ve gone and left you
But I was never really there
I was just a brief overnight
On the way to somewhere
I, I am the only one
I am in your head
Oh I am the only one
And when all is said and done
Oh I, I am the only one
And I am in your head
I am the only one
And when all is said and done
I’m gone, I’m gone
I’m gone, I’m gone
I am gone
