Well I know what I like and I like what I see
I know what I want and I know what I need
And the more that I get the more that I need
So if you`re coming along well you`re coming at ease
Everybody screams, don`t know what to believe
I just follow someone else`s life
And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else`s life
And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave
So it seems - jump or be sane
I want to move on but I know when to stay
Oh you can stand there all day, or you can shoulder the blame
But they`re spoiling the paintwork and they`re ruining the line
And I`ve been here before and it ain`t worth your overtime
Everybody screams, don`t know what to believe
I just follow someone else`s life
And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else`s life
They`ve got me running around
But it`s not work that they`ve found
Just something to keep me occupied
And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave
So it seems - jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Catch me if you can, my feet won`t ever feel the ground again
So let the overture take over and the symphony restrain
Let the orchestra be passion and the timpanis the rain
Everybody screams, don`t know what to believe
I just follow someone else`s life
And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own
I just follow someone else`s life
They`ve got me running around
But it`s not work that they`ve found
Just something to keep me occupied
It`s a mean machine
Keep it tight, keep it clean
Just something to keep me occupied
And as a matter of course, be not vexed by remorse
I`m not lost but one who`s gone before
And as the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave
Then it seems - jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
Jump or be sane
