Just over the ivy strewn wall is the garden that they all call Eden and I am not yet inside
just beneath the leaves and vines I hide
Crouching in the litter, biding my time
I am humming to myself, and thinking secret thoughts even I cannot divine
And I would revoke my membership in that eternal land of joy, if I could break the inscrutability and hold the thoughts that are mine
I need to jump in a car and get out of here
I'd love to walk, but I can't do it fast or long enough
The road won't vanish beneath my feet, and the sky won't touch me with its light
So I run! And my breath crunches the air, and the impact of my feet jar my spine and
I run! The scenery blurring on the edge of my vision and the startled people stumbling out of my way as
I run! Living, while they plod in the mud to get to a job where they sit and work for nothing but money!
There's a sky overhead and a bridge underneath
and I'm bouncing on my heels and grinding my teeth
Waiting for the right moment to speak
now I think it's arrived, and I open my mouth so to pour out my mind
Telling you all everything, it's just like breathing
I'm saying that I, I am a star
a reassuring phrase printed on a sticker, stuck to your ceiling
Something to guide you when you're lost in your nightmares
a get out free card for when you feel like you've lost all meaning
I mean, I know I've said this before
but I'm pretty sure I'm a key and a door
Someone who will change everything if I'm asked to
just ask me to quick, and you won't be confused
You'll find out that my derivative anthem has real meaning
