Skyclad - Halo Of Flies lyrics

All you needed was somebody with a dream A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal Only dead fish float with the stream Compared with you I seem like an extraterrestrial I'm not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan I won't play Jesus Christ or Santa Claus I'll never pa** for a Superman I'm just an effect trying to find a cause Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here Who am I, what am I and why am I here? Is it because I'm flesh and blood That creature comforts feel so good? I give my body all it needs It sleeps and eats and sh**s and breeds And if I keep my feelings stum Hard luck, bibo ergo sum Just trying to do the best I can Is a giant leap for this small man All you needed was somebody with a dream A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal Only dead fish float with the stream Compared with you I seem like an extraterrestrial You say that life is a miracle I don't believe one word Forgive me for being so cynical From down here you all look absurd So are you happy now we all feel the same? Martyrs to the cause, boredom level nearing terminal You're afraid to go against the grain Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual James T. Kirk, Albert Einstein Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise If you're out there, send a sign I need somebody to sympathise with Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here Who am I, what am I and why am I here? Must I succumb to every urge First feast and fast then binge and purge My spirit's strong, my flesh is weak I laugh and cry and scream and speak And sometimes when i feel confused I walk a path I did not choose Watch my life on video A private homemade horror show All you needed was somebody with a dream A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal Only dead fish float with the stream Compared with you I seem like an extraterrestrial So are you happy now we all feel the same? Martyrs to the cause, boredom level nearing terminal You're afraid to go against the grain Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual You say that life is a miracle I don't believe one word Forgive me for being so cynical From down here you all look absurd
