Lyrics

I could never keep in step
I could never step in time
Vaulted over the skyline and I
Fell off the edge of the world

Running to keep standing still
Falling over and grazing my knees
I climbed out of the machine and I
Got dubbed a criminal

Lived like a refugee
Sang like a libertine:

"I am susceptible, I am gullible
Living like an animal
Driven to the life here
Down among the criminals"

Slept in a waking dream
Kept stepping on polished shoes
They put me on remote control
But I never got the hang of it

Got crossed on fusing wires
Jumped over the prison walls
Their shots were wide, their shots were tall:
Their shots were always missing me

I'm pulling punches
To avoid their cages

"This rage cannot be tamed
This force cannot be contained
I've felt the pricks of their slings and arrows
I lived in houses built of bricks of sighs

I've drunk with shadows in cafes
Marauded through street and allies
I'm not a lizard who says:
The world owes me a living

And I'll not get caught in their traps
When they trawl the basking lizards in
For I've found a life here for me
Down among the criminals"
