Lyrics

They aren't desperate for love and affection
No, they're desperate for you
And as you sit up there all sly and sure
I wonder, does anyone think as strongly as you do?
I'm quite sure we'll find one another
In a place that's better then this
A time filled with us
And we send up our shooting stars and comets
Yeah, we make our little gestures
Yes, we make our little comments

This song is my anthem
And it makes up my ideals
And who I am has benefitted from all my cleverly planned meals
All my cleverly planned meals

I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit
So if I voice my opinion, will you stay in sick?
And as I stand here screaming in despair
I said yes this is my life and yes you should care

This song is my anthem
(Close your eyes)
And it makes up my ideals
And who I am
(And you'll free your mind)
Has benefitted from all my cleverly planned meals
(You're free to fly)
All my cleverly planned meals
( just say close your eyes)
(And I will free your mind, you're free to fly)

Hardly happy at all
And I'm ready to take the fall
'Cause we pay for the stupid things we've done, we come from
Can you sit through this or is it going to be too deep?
Will you ever use common sense? it comes pretty cheap
So if I speak more clearly if I make more sense
Will you just shut your mouth? you won't come across quite so dense

And so close your eyes
Free your mind, you're free to fly
Close your eyes
I free my mind, I'm free to fly
I said close your eyes
And may you free your mind
You're free to fly
I said close your eyes
And may you free your mind
You're free to fly
She said close your eyes
And free your mind, you're free to fly
She said close your eyes
Free your mind, free to fly
Close your eyes

Close your eyes
I will free your mind, you're free to fly
This song is my anthem
And it makes up my ideals
And who I am
Has benefitted from all my cleverly planned meals
All my cleverly planned meals
