You Are Only What You Are

Oh you stand up in your crystal towers
and gaze out at the circus world
your wardrobe clowns and carosels
rambling towns and distant bells of laughter
drying tears, behind the rain
where’s those fallen angel standards
from the morning headline features
and thank you lord that justice has been done
lady has been done
slow down take your time
no need to lose your mind'
for if you look, you know you’ll find
you are only, what you are
and it’s so easy to philosophise
and see youself as smiling eyes
the rope around your eggshell world
where troubled waters leave you only guessing
like a ship, without a sail
A finger pointing man-of-war
they fired a barage at your flags
their broken knives lay waiting, on their knees
lady on their knees
slow down take your time
no need to lose your mind'
for if you look, you know you’ll find
you are only, what you are
slow down take your time
no need to lose your mind'
for if you look, you know you’ll find
you are only, what you are
you are only, what you are
