Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Angst on the planks, spitting from a bridge
Just to see how far down it really is
Robbing a bank, jumping on a train
Old antiques, a man alone can entertain
[Verse 2]
Takes all your power
Prove that you don't care
I'm not Cordelia
I've not been there
I'll not be there
I'll not be there
[Verse 3]
Tin can man, dragging from a car
Just to see how alive you really are
Marry the words, falling in your wake
Just to tell what you can eliminate
[Verse 4]
It takes all your power
Prove that you don't care
I'm not Cordelia
I've not been there
[Verse 5]
Treading them boards, screaming out Macbeth
Just to see how much bad luck you really get
Jump in the ring with your hidden cape
The bull can't decide what it is that he really hates
[Verse 6]
It takes all your power
Prove that you don't care
I'm not Cordelia
I've not been there
Not been there
Not been there
[Verse 7]
Angst on the planks, spitting from a bridge
Just to see how far down it really is
Robbing a bank, jumping on a train
Old antiques, a man alone can entertain
[Verse 8]
It takes all your power
Prove that you don't care
I'm not Cordelia
I've not been there
Not been there
I've not been there
[Verse 9]
Thief lingers on, on his hands and knees
Must be one more thing here I really need
Die in your dreams, falling on your knife
A thief blinded on the job has to steal for life
[Verse 10]
It takes all your power
Prove that you don't care
I'm not Cordelia
I've not been there
Not been there
I will not be there
I'll not be there
