We take Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten
And yes it gets emotional Those feeling that come up between a boy and girl And all those words you said you know you didn??짖€™t mean The ears that heard them now are feeling very sad
Understanding is the thing, the key To open locks that you never believed to even see And something there in your very heart Knows that you??짖€™ll both be there and you??짖€™ll never part
We take Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten steps back

Domestic bliss on a cloud named nine Sweet sexiness, soft caress could be be yours and mine A cloud named nine
Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten steps back Two steps forward and then ten steps back
And then the girls sing And then the boys sing Lets sing together

Who were you before you were? Before the sweets passed through your teeth Before the games you learnt weren't there Before your mama would soap up your hair
Where did you learn to snatch those toys And tell me where did you learn to make that noise Screaming seemed to get you far Spitting your dummy out of your cart
Living the life of a dreamer Do you know what it means, do you know what it means Living the life of a dreamer Do you know what it means, do you know what it means
Greedy greedy greedy, take take take Then its kissy smiley, fake fake fake, Like a cake A, BC, DEF greedy, do you think that you can change Up yourself, so you can stand on your friends heads, I said Chocolate's on the pillows are complimentary That??짖€™s what I said, on the fence!
Living the life of a dreamer Do you know what it means, do you know what it means Living the life of a dreamer Do you know what it means, do you know what it means
Living the life of a dreamer Do you know what it means, do you know what it means Living the life of a dreamer

Like my friend Icarus, went and melted off his wings Like a fallen fallen angel lifts his heavy weights before he sings That bitch that cut of Samson's hair It ain??짖€™t nice, and it sure ain't fair
Now everybody, so play fair, we are the same, we are the same As everybody, so play fair, we are the same, we are the same
Who were you before you were Before the sweets passed through your teeth Before the games you learnt weren't there Before your mama would soap up your hair
Where did you learn to snatch those toys where did you learn to make that noise Screaming seem to get you far Spitting that dummy filling your cart
Living the life of a dreamer Your living the life do you know what it means Your living the life of a dreamer Your living the life do you know what it means Your living the life of a dreamer Its not what it seems
I remember when, I remember I remember when I lost my mind There was something so pleasant about that place Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without care Yeah, I was out of touch But it wasn't because I didn't know enough I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Possibly
And I hope that you are Having the time of your life But think twice That's my only advice
Come on now, who do you Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are? Ha ha ha, bless your soul You really think you're in control?
Well, I think you're crazy I think you're crazy I think you're crazy Just like me
My heroes had the heart To lose their lives out on a limb And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little Ever since I was little It looked like fun And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done
All alone, traveling, traveling, traveling so far away from home I never meant this song to happen but there you go Don??짖€™t go holding on to tight it??짖€™ll never never grow, never grow We are free? That is modern day philosophy Saying what something else means to you means to me The differences are always someone who??짖€™s feeling quite the same Quite the same
Look the city streets are burning Kicked the fence I carried on Something inside my head was turning turning on
So talk to me, and tell me something that you learned that I didn??짖€™t know
Push me with your stories and make my tears flow Change the way I'm thinking to the truth that??짖€™s your own, truth I know Then fight with me, turn your story round pretty words you lie to me Why you feel the need to always put on me? Your anger and fear are always fighting for control, full control!
Look the city streets are burning! Everyone of us looks on Seems ours mind??짖€™s weren??짖€™t meant for turning Turning on, turning on Turning on, turning on
