Lyrics
I've been out sauntering down an unlit path
It takes me nowhere I knew
(Need a reason) Can't think without one now
(Call it treason) Maybe catch her, I don't know
Too much to know
Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady
(Sometimes) People stare
Coming down, electric chair
(And steaming crowds) They gather and they shout
Don't know why this evil follows me
So why is he trying to follow me?
How many reasons do they need?
I might just be right this time
I might just believe this time
It's a new religion
It's a new religion
I'm talking for free and I can't stop myself
I've something to see and I can't help myself
I'm talking for free and I can't stop myself
I've something to see and I can't help myself
I'm talking for free and I can't stop myself
I've something to see and I can't help myself
I'm talking for free and I can't stop myself
I've something to see and I can't help myself
