lyrics

I want more than a common goal, growing old, killing time
Wake me up to the miracle of being alive

‘Cause you’re not in the fire, you’re not in the rushing wind
I’ll find you in the rhythm hidden in the sound within

This noise we’re making – I’m caught in the middle of it
I’m caught in the middle of this sound of petrol on the fire

I want more than another line of right and wrong scratched in my mind
And if life is just a commodity it’s something you can sell to me, right?
