Lyrics
I’m just an idea roaming the land
And everywhere I go, I’m a different man
Looking at the world through different eyes
The flesh is the best disguise
Living a life that is not my own
Trapped in a body, all alone
Seeking to put right what once went wrong
With a feeling that I don’t belong
I don’t know what I did
Or what I didn’t do
What I wouldn’t do to be with you again
And in my own skin
I had a sweetheart in my old life
We couldn’t be parted with a switchblade knife
But now I exist on a different plane
I may never see her again
We had a love that was strong and sound
Perfect kids and a basset hound
A great big house with a picket fence
Now we live in a different tense
Oh how I hate that I’m on this track
Oh how I long for my old life back
Oy gevolt! How I curse these bones
And a constant stream of clones.
But there’s a girl who I met this week
Makes me glad of my new physique
When she smiles, I am someone new
A man with a brighter view
It was all going fine
Until I fell for her
Now I long to stay in this new life of mine
And not my old skin
