When the fever burns your brain When your heart has got a name And you long for generous days You want a spring in your walk and a smile on your face. Another day inside the pearl You could have screamed; leaving this world You laugh'n'joke without a care And bear a depression you can see from the air. Ride the tail of rhyme Break the legs of time - Snap it's spine. As a statue wearing complicated clothes A monument to power, standing, but on reconstrucdead toes At my feet there's a plate I haven't read. Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead A tambourine rings in my blood The circus' rolling'n'the cage is locked. So where's the light - a match that flares - The pot at the end of the rainbow's where Pick your nose as you pick your friends Or spend a life in fear of the end To tell a nodding shrink won't help - So I say to myself: Hey, get a hold on yourself! Ride the tail of rhyme Break the legs of time - Snap it's spine. As a statue wearing complicated clothes A monument to power, standing, but on reconstrucdead toes At my feet there's a plate I haven't read. Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead, reconstrucdead. My eyes are blind My mind is numb But my ears begin to hear - to hear the growing hum Like a statue, jealous of the rush hour I'm reconstrucdead like a monument, a monument to power As a statue wearing complicated clothes Standing high up as a tower now, but still the cracks will - yeah The cracks will show A lifetime of frustration - the things that I can't get Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead
