Life is complicated and I cannot get it right
So I try and turn the world around and keep things out of sight
No communication ‘cos I cannot read the signs
Crying, laughter all the same, I think outside the lines.
Given up on reasoning, don’t need facts at all
Intuition serves me well, I recognize its call
Total saturation, I make the world I need
Let me loose I’m in control, there’s nothing I can’t be
Lift yourself up now, up into my world
Don’t stop me staring, I’m thinking fast and slow
Failed by education, lost in the world of work
I never got the hang of life, ‘cos they made me feel a jerk
“Lack of concentration” was always their best shot
There’s no example in this world, so I never found the plot
Lift yourself up now, up into my world
Don’t stop me staring, I’m thinking fast and slow
