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 (x2)
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 (x4)
Here's something else
that I know that you wouldn't(x4)
There's something you did
that I thought that you couldn't(x2)
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
A social man of right,
A social stalactite
Hey, you won't change, you'll never be
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 (x2)
You just wasted your time
Trying to change me, I'm not
