IN THE BACKYARD OF TIME I FEEL
THIS EMOTION OF LIBERTY
AND THE SHELL OF A DREAM I PEEL
GETS AWAY WITH MY POVERTY
NOW, FEEL THE BEAT, FEEL THE MELODY EVERY NIGHT, WHEN I HIT THE STREET
AND I SEE THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE
AND REALITY BURNS MY FEET
THEN I FIND A WAY TO BELIEVE
NOW, CALL IT LOVE, CALL IT EMPATHY OH MY SUDDEN DESTINY
IM FACING IT NOW
IT IS CHOICE, NOT CHANCE
THIS FINE ROMANCE I HAVE FOUND UNDERSTANDING IS SYMMETRY
WHEN YOU FACE EVERYONE YOU MEET
AND YOU TALK AND YOUR MIND IS FREE
FROM A FEAR YOU TRY TO DEFEAT
NOW, YOU CANT BUY HER SINCERITY REPEAT CHORUS & 1ST VERSE IN THE BACKYARD OF LIBERTY!
IN THE BACKYARD OF EMPATHY!
IN THE BACKYARD OF SYMMETRY!
IN THE BACKYARD OF SYMPATHY!
