You were too cool for school, ran around

Smiling like a clown kid, how he did

Do it like you never hid from anyone

And I miss that kind of crazy in the free time, small crime hanging out

Bothering the old folks, bumming smokes, tapping shoulders

Telling jokes to anyone

And I feel that I’ve been broken from a shadow

A tiny human echo

Sliver of a second chance

Power of protection

I am just an animal, an alien inside of me

There is no escaping whatever it will be

Is whatever it will be

With your long-hair-don’t-care attitude

Barely raised an eyebrow, know how whatever

I never knew you anyway

And I was never all aboard as the bad guy, white lies

Knocking down the mailboxes in the rich hood

No good reason to be reasoning with anyone

And I feel a lot like smaller than a shadow

A tiny human echo

Sliver of a second chance

Power of protection

I am just an animal, an alien inside of me

There is no escaping whatever it will be

Is whatever it will be

I’m just a shadow

A tiny human echo

Sliver of a second chance

Power of protection

I am just an animal, an alien inside of me

There is no escaping whatever it will be

Is whatever it will be
