What Are You?

David Gray · Flesh [1994]

What are you, becoming?

What have you, become?

Once, you sang your own song, now your dancing to the same drum

What have you become?



And what is that, you're wearing?

Money's ugly confidence

You sacrificed, the poem of your imagination (Wooooooaaaahhh)

For these pounds and pence

Me I take the cynics role, throw scorn on your empty mind

I've seen this monotonous world make dull, what used to shine

You lost interest, you lost your spine (Wooooooaaaahhh)

Thats fine fine fine



Bye Bye Bye Bye (Wooooooaaaahhh)

When theres nothing left, on this plate your handed

You'll find yourself, running the gauntlet, of all these double standards

Its very thin ice, over which you're skating (Wooooooaaaahhh)

And after this black winter, the thaw



So what are you?

Tell me, tell me what are you?

Now what have you.. Become?
