brewed in vats of ecstacy
without pollution
shake well before opening
and don't tell anyone
lock the doors, turn out the lights
let go of secrecy
night is darkness without the stars
and i count them in my sleep

would you mind if i didn't care
would you make me try
if i admit that it's all my fault
would you please tell me why

building up my confidence
on foundations of sand
i'm still young enough to dream
but not to understand
please believe me when i say i cared
once upon a time
if all this world is just a stage
then i'm a pantomime

would you mind if i didn't care
would you make me try
if i admit that it's all my fault
would you please tell me why
would you please tell me why
would you please tell me why
would you please tell me why
would you please tell me tell me tell me

building up my confidence
on foundations of sand
i'm still young enough to dream
but not to understand
but not to understand
but not to understand
but not to understand
but not to understand
