lyrics

What kind of world is this where everyone is you?
Everywhere I look and all I see is you
Maybe you can tell me why this is so

There’s chaos on the corner of an empty rush hour road
People are standing ‘round, there’s gathered quite a crowd
I look at their faces and all I see is you
Is you

Slithering down the snake path, the creature approaches
Is it a man, or is it a snake, or is it some demon?

Your many faces are arguing amongst themselves
You have a different one each day
Tell me why you have so many masks

All your lies, they don’t wash with me
All your tales of sorrow, well they’ll have to wait

What kind of world is this where everyone is you?
Everywhere I look and all I see is you
Maybe you can tell me why this is so

What kind of world is this where nobody is you?
Everywhere I look and I cannot see you
Maybe you can tell me why this is so
