I'm young and you see through my eyes
and you feel that you're old
You're old and you live through your eyes
and you wish you were young
Back in Cambridge when you shout by the side
like the fool that you are
you were losing your touch
you were losing our trust
Back inside on the ice
back of the eye to the ice
you wait, you wait, wait, you wait, you wait
with your lips against the mirror, I guess you couldn't see your face
Pressures, pressures
They take cocaine, they take cocaine
Pressures, pressures
They take cocaine, they take cocaine
You just wasted your time trying to change me, I'm not
So I found my home gently perched on the roots of a tree
protecting me and grounding me
It's been a piggy-back ride on a very, very piggy front
Back outside on the ice
back of the eye to the ice
you wait, you wait, wait, you wait, you wait
So you looked into the mirror and they gave you back your face
Pressures, pressures
They take cocaine, they take cocaine
Pressures, pressures
They take cocaine, they take cocaine
Pressures, pressures
They take cocaine, they take cocaine
Pressures, pressures
They take cocaine, they take cocaine
Here's something else that I know that you wouldn't
Here's something else that I know that you wouldn't
Here's something else that I knew that you wouldn't
Here's something else that I knew that you wouldn't
There's something you did that I thought that you couldn't
Something you did that I thought that you couldn't
Cafes, big white arms
have lost their particular charm
No one leaves this house
but still you miss me, honey
Cafes, big white eyes
have lost their ambiguous smile
No one leaves this house
but still you miss me, honey
You're standing from the side
it's only for tonight
(But you can't change, you'll never be)
You'll promise for tonight
it's only the last time
(But you won't change, you'll never see)
So why do you look at me?
So why do you look at me?
('Cause you can't change, you'll never be)
(Hey, you won't change, you'll never be)
