Every day’s an opportunity
To get it wrong in a fresh new way, girl
Really ramping up the lunacy
Twisting every single word you say, girl

Give it up, give it all away
Sell the cats and the television
You know it’s never gonna work this way
I’ll only ever sabotage the mission

Oh if only I could
Change my ways then I would

Get out of bed on the winning side
Trade a problem for the right solution
Give the world what it’s been denied
Be a man, make a contribution

Oh if only I could
Change my ways then you would see
What I could be

Speak the truth
Tell me what to do
Say the word, say the word
Give me a sign
Write it in the sky
Say the word, say the word

Swaying on the precipice of reason
The lightest breeze ’n’ I’ll be falling, falling

So hold me tight
Our arms are all we have tonight
Forget today
Just let it fade away

In the beginning was the wonderland
Where man and woman wandered hand in hand
And all was good and right
Some angels fall and some are called to stand
They scatter stars above the sea and sand
To light our darker nights

The shallow smile of my distraction
Loses its crescent curl when you call my name
And all the while your every action
Speaks to a deeper love that I can’t explain

Speak the truth
Tell me what to do
Say the word, say the word
Give me a sign
Write it in the sky
Say the word, say the word

Swaying on the precipice of reason
The lightest breeze ’n’ I’ll be falling, falling

So hold me tight
Our arms are all we have tonight
Forget today
Just let it fade away

And when I’m a fool
Excuse my behaviour
Sweet lady and saviour

Don’t give up on this prize-winning fool
Until I’ve truly heard

Say the word, say the word
Say the word, say the word
Say the word, say the word
