You say you want to know what's going on
There's nothing happening in here,
There's someone moving on the other side,
But who it is is not too clear,
The mystery is
That there's this itch
That somehow you just can't scratch,
And somewhere
A blaze is burning
That wasn't started with a match
You say you don't like the darkness
That's just the color that's around,
You say you want to end up real high,
So you don't have to touch the ground
Get down on your knees
If you want to touch the sky,
You want to see clearly now,
You better cover up your eyes
Voices are talking in the grid,
But I can't tell quite what they mean
You tell me that this is how it goes,
But I think that that's a bit obscene
You say there's no difference between us
The signal's the same
And that there's no real kink
The slate's been wiped clean
And history won't repeat,
But that's never been the way that I think
Wear your anger proud and loud and deep,
That way I know what I can trust,
You grab at a hole
And a hollow kiss and
Convince yourself that you will never rust
I've got a wire in the back of my head,
Got a wire in the back of my head
Get down on your knees
If you want to touch the sky,
You want to see clearly now
You better poke out your eyes
