I couldn't look at your face I'd been laughing at your sake Nothing I'd like to share aloud There's a mark on the floor Here I am and I'm out the door Don't think you've got me figured out I don't think you've got me figured out Buttoned up your shirt this morning I was hanging upside down My head, blood rushing You're rushing too fast Don't hold that thought You'd be acting just like a moth Stuck in my sill in the basement Don't look at the floor Look right at me like this means war Don't think you've got me figured out I don't think you've got me figured out Locked jaw like it's a warning Push me up against the wall My head, blood rushing You're rushing too fast Children, angels and lovers All around the fire Tabernacle choir My head, blood rushing You're rushing too fast

I was lost and yet loved In the presence of Adam I was numb. No one's right, no one's wrong In the presence of Adam I went dumb I can feel that unexpressed emotion. And I took it on. Then I made it all wrong I had a knack for destruction of what I loved. And we all played along The forces of destruction silently sung. I can feel that unexpressed emotion and I took it on. I was lost and yet loved I just long to feel loved In the presence of Adam

If you are me and I am you Who are you anyway? Who are you anyway, my friend? When we got lost on our way where was I going anyway? I play the fool and waste your time You break the rule, I pay the fine You say you feel good on your own If you're just fine on your own, why don't you come in anyway? why don't you come in anyway, lover? When you said you want it all I thought you were everything You're a part of everything my friend I play the fool and waste your time You break the rule, I pay the fine I say I feel good on my own, babe. If you are me and I am you Who are you anyway? Who are you anyway, my friend?

I have names of shame and of sorrow Names I've begged and borrowed Names I've won and surrendered Names of mystery and of splendor I have many names. Call me, call me by my true name Call me, call me by my true name I've known defeat I've tasted glory Words I don't repeat, I live the story. It's a path back home lit by a flame Call me by my true name. Call me, call me by my true name Call me, call me by my true name

He built this tower and we watched it burn False crown oh brother when will you learn? Our hands lay empty before the ghost So tell me sister what you prize the most Here comes Prince Johnny with his bright disease You thought you were gonna shoot the breeze No more story about the end of an age Just get your heart written on the page We used to strain our eyes to see But now I see you and you see me
