Peter Grimes: Prologue: 'Peter Grimes, I Here Advise You!' lyrics
Vertigo
Am I Here Yet?
Theres got to be more to this, the future
- theres got to be more to this
Sitting around in my imagination
Using someone elses logic for loose change.
Where the speed of light isnt always fast enough
So could you hurry up and get another life, if you please
You wear a suit, i wear a smile, you yellow taxi the 4 minute mile
I'll be your driver if you'll be my ride
Your financial advisor, me and my hitchhikers guide
Wrote a letter to the future, asking for directions
It came back to me, return to sender, there i go
Am i here yet, am i here yet, am i?
Theres got to be more to this
My emotional bends are doing somersaults
My head is where my feet should be, on the ground
I chose the path of most resistance
Had to be different, made my mark but then i crossed the lines
You read between
Pardon you, oh excuse me, you left your manners at the pleasant trees
Blind ambition is so hard to please
Look at me, ive been told i'm exceptionally ordinary
Wrote a letter to the future asking for directions
It came back to me, return to sender
There i go, am i here yet,
Theres got to be more to this, theres got to be more to this
Straight ahead, always forward, change direction
Nobodys looking. draw a circle and stand in the middle
Touch the sides, they're never ending, they're never ending
Wrote a letter to the future asking for directions
It came back to me return to sender
There i go, am i here yet
The future, theres got to be more to this
Dont wanna be rich, dont wanna be poor, dont wanna to be a bitch
Im not asking for more, you'd settle for less, im happy like this
Dont you wanna get a life
Dont wanna be a victim of fashion, a plastic sensation
A hippie chick coke fiend, higher than an astronaut
Lower than a politician, leave your name and number in the bin, the has bin
