Jump Or Be Sane

Well I know what I like and I like what I see
I know what I want and I know what I need
And the more that I get the more that I need
So if you're coming along well you're coming at ease

Everybody screams, don't know what to believe
I just follow someone else's life
And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else's life
And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave

So it seems - jump or be sane

I want to move on but I know when to stay
Oh you can stand there all day, or you can shoulder the blame
But they're spoiling the paintwork and they're ruining the line
And I've been here before and it ain't worth your overtime

Everybody screams, don't know what to believe
I just follow someone else's life
And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else's life

They've got me running around
But it's not work that they've found
Just something to keep me occupied
And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave

So it seems - jump or be sane

Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane

Catch me if you can, my feet won't ever feel the ground again

So let the overture take over and the symphony restrain
Let the orchestra be passion and the timpanis the rain

Everybody screams, don't know what to believe
I just follow someone else's life
And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else's life

They've got me running around
But it's not work that they've found
Just something to keep me occupied

It's a mean machine
Keep it tight, keep it clean
Just something to keep me occupied

And as a matter of course, be not vexed by remorse
I'm not lost but one who's gone before
And as the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave

Then it seems - jump or be sane

Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
