My Word

History sits in a chair at the table listening to everything I have to say

She doesn't know that I long to be able to follow danger to go astray



And I am an actor she is the audience, I am a legend in my own mind

Everything I can't say is irrelevant - Everything I don't have, mine this time



History sits on a bench in the garden watching the children picking the flowers

She doesn't that I long to be able to possess ancient magical powers



And I am an actor she is the audience, I am a legend in my own mind

Everything I can't say is irrelevant - Everything I don't have, mine this time



There's a mouse that's trapped in the wall by the kitchen and it

Keeps me up in the middle of the night and it's

Clawing its way to freedom - putting up a very impressive fight



Oh to be a creature so small, oh to have the dignity to know

There must be a way out of this if I just find the right tunnel



Take me down to the fire-breathing waterbed

Tie me up with imaginary string and

Calm my nerves by pretending to be soothing, soothing



History sits in a chair at the table listening to everything I have to say

She doesn't know that I long to be able to follow danger to go astray



And I am an actor she is the audience, I am a legend in my own mind

Everything I can't say is irrelevant - Everything I don't have, mine this time



This time it's gonna be different - I'm gonna start telling you the truth

I'll give you my word as, my word as,

I am an actor she is the audience, she is the audience, she is the audience
