RTH 9 - (I Don't Want To Be An) Anglepoise Lamp
Rocket To Heaven Cycle Pt 9
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I just want everything to be already shown
I don't consider it my job any more
To find out all the things that I've never known
There's a difference between the knowledge and the knowing
There's a difference between the growth and the growing
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I just want everything to be already shown
I don't want to cross the wild frontier
I want to stay in spaces that I've already flown
They say that no man can pause the time or tide
I say let them sleep wherever they choose to hide
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I just want everything to be already shown
It's no longer my job to help things along
I don't care if it's already grown
I'm no longer sure of the difference between bent and straight
All the illuminators want to make me wait
I've got no magic beam to shine
I don't know what the difference is between course and fine
(slowly)
Light shines on the people
Who say they want to stay in the dark
With their sunken eye sockets
Living out west of the park
Small furry animals creeping
Around inside the way I feel
Emoticons are never weeping
What is an even keel?
(faster)
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I just want everything to be already shown
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I just want everything to be already shown
Diamonds leaving trails in the sky
The octopus rises with a cry
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
I don't want to be an anglepoise lamp
