Being There

Lyrics

Being there while not being there Here and nowhere Now, the mask is off The cocktail Molotov The Philistines only scoff Rule by fame, rule of fame, not to blame Nothing here is quite the same Then a fire now a flame Here and nowhere near And fear not, fear not Be not afraid Be not afraid The angel bade, "Be not afraid" He was glitchy, twitchy Trigger-finger itchy With a bad cough in a stand-off So now there are ten figures P-R-N-X-S-I-Q-T-V-D P-R-N-X-S-I-Q-T-V-D Three commas, no Dalai Lamas Only melodramas He was a victim of life's circumstances She was a subject of several trances of hidden meanings And sideways glances of treachery and failed romances He was panicking and falling behind She had a clean conscious and a dirty mind Being there while not being there Here and nowhere near The angel bade, be not afraid The angel bade, be not afraid The angel bade Be not afraid, be not afraid The angel bade her, "Be not afraid" Let's make a future where we all want to live Let's make a past we don't have to forgive Be not afraid Be not afraid We need your parade Be not afraid Be not afraid Be not afraid
