Genius

If only they knew what we’re doing
Who knows, we might have a chance
If only they’d hear what I’m saying
God knows, we might have a chance
To make a contribution
A standing Institution
I remember the dream
Who can see where we’re going?
Maybe there’s room for a change
Time slips like sand through the fingers
Sometimes I feel so old
Is it worth the mind games?
Am I going insane?
Oh, come in from the cold
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
Why am I always the loser?
God knows I’m not like the rest
You can survive on the surface
Oh, I wish I could too
Still walking the same road
Always carrying the same load
Oh, come in from the cold
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
The show it wasn’t wasted
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
I wanna stay when the lights go up
In a sea of faces
I wanna make it in my own time
For absent friends and faces
