'Cos I seem to fall towards burning But when I look inside I find the place to cry, to fly, to die You and I, born as fools now You and I think, think we rule now Now I see the world as an ancient place, as a smiling face I can choose to be what I want to be if I choose to be Speaking impartially If the smile grows cold without me I know a secret place to cry, to fly, to die, to try You know I'm burning in a flame now Now I see the world as an ancient place, as a smiling face Now I see the world as a place where I can run to, hide to Which way should I turn? 'Cos I seem to fall towards burning But when I look inside I find the place to try, to hide, to fly You and I, born as fools now You and I think, think we rule now You and I, born as fools now You and I think, think we rule now And I seem to fall towards burning
