Lyrics

[Verse 1] Things were better when we were cartoons Days would pass right through us Our outlines wouldn't change But it's okay babe There's still money to be made Just gotta stay up But the judge tells me that I'm going down So I play to the jury for it's in their hands There's still everything to play for And I'm a betting man Put your money on me [Chorus] So I walk through doors Walk through mirrors Walk through walls to find out where you are So I walk through doors Walk through mirrors Walk through walls to get to where you are [Bridge 1] The seeds take root in my belly it seems And from out of my mouth, the apple tree springs "Oh Tomasz, how could I hate you? Wе just got lost in our own private rainbow" [Verse 2] He says it's been a rather full-on day But whеn I press him to divulge He obfuscates When I try to stand my ground He triangulates on me So I take him to the trapdoor at the end of our road And before he works it out I put him in and I just hope that he's in one of his playful moods tonight [Chorus] So I walk through doors Walk through mirrors Walk through walls to find out where you are So I walk through doors Walk through mirrors Walk through walls to get to where you are [Bridge 2] Oh oh oh oh I can roll a 7 twice Oh oh oh oh I can disregard your good advice Ah ah ah ah I can still make your flowers bloom That is if you really want me to? [Verse 3] Darling, I got carried away These days it's easier to stay in make-believe And I didn't mean to be tacky at your event But if I don't read the papers then I don't get depressed It's insane (Trying to keep ahead of the beat) It's insane [Verse 4] Darling, I must confess I've been drinking to excess I've been smoking to manage the stress I've been sensing your unrest But we're doing okay, better than the rest I'm still down for forever if you need to ask It's insane (Trying to keep ahead of the beat) It's insane [Verse 5] Darling, I've made a mess If I send you my location can you pick me up? Just promise not to ask it's best that you don't know We can sit in silence back through Walthamstow Oh I didn't mean to make a scene in front of your friends But whenever I catch the headlines I get so distressed It's insane (Trying to keep ahead of the beat) It's insane (Trying to keep ahead of the beat) (Trying to keep ahead of the beat) (Trying to keep ahead of the beat)
