lyrics

In the life I thought I knew
In the love I thought I had
In emotions running blue
I got lost inside my head
Was a million years ago
In a world before the cool
In my mind I traveled time
When in school

In a heart I thought I owned
In a soul I thought I won
Came destruction, death and woe
I got lost in the crystal sun
Was on distant shores of time
In a land you’ll never fool
In my mind their ocean spoke
When in school

In a day so strange and clear
Young again of shiny stone
Echoes of the stratosphere
Shook the basis of this world
I could never understand it
All the people stood and drooled
In my mind I chose no sides
When in school

In the night I never feared
In the light of a million stars
Mirrored in our telescopes
Seen from Earth as shiny dust
Came a bliss too great to see
You can’t bind this bliss with rules
In my mind I walked with death
When in school

In the dawn I always loved
In the streets I called my own
I would walk till getting lost
Couldn’t see a trace of home
Distant stars kept calling me
And my brain was made of wool
In my mind the world was free
When in school
