Party animal or a bird in a cage
mine is a double the spirit of the age
money for old rope, the coin spinning round
your time is up, your time is down
I could read a book, I could watch a film
I could spend a day perfectly still
A solitary ring on a link in a chain
we could look alike but we're not all tame
I want it, I want it all the same
but I'm learning on the way
I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades
but I'm learning on the way
There's someone here to freeze, it couldn't be
A lot of people tease that we were free
I fell off my chair, I flew into the air
but I didn't land, didn't land nowhere
I want it, I want it all the same
But I'll learn it on the way
I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades
But I'll learn it on the way
I don't care what they were doing before
I don't care what, they could do it again, again
I don't even care what they are doing here right now
But I'll learn it on the way
and the margin's so wide there's a line down the middle
straight down the middle a dividing line
never, never, never getting anything together
never getting anything together one time
I want it, I want it all the same
But I'll learn it on the way
I wanna remember all the colours and the sounds and the shades
But I'll learn it on the way
learning on the way
