The line I chalk is moving beyond my fingertips
The observations and the thoughts in my mind are ripe
Genetic engineering myself - No I just don't need anyone else
I'm wide awake and finally breaking through to the age of,
Through to the age of reason
The numbers count up and down in the calculations
I watch the words rearranging themselves on the page
Working it out myself - No I just don't need anyone else
I'm wide awake and finally breaking through to the age of,
Through to the age of reason
And from a black and white world where it was much much duller
Everybody comes to life in these unfamiliar colours
Genetic engineering myself - No I just don't need anyone else
I'm wide awake and finally breaking through to the age of,
Through to the age of reason
Reasons to live
Reasons to stare into the gun
Reasons to give
Reasons to grab the cash and run
Reasons to run and reasons to stay
Reasons to go back to bed
Reasons to be cheerful
As Ian Dury said 'Get back into bed'
And from a black and white world where it was much much duller
Everybody comes to life in these unfamiliar colours
