lyrics

Giants

All this time you thought I was kidding about dancing in the sun
You thought I knew there's no escape but I guess I thought there was
Got to admit at my age I'm carrying on like a fool
Like everyone else I've found a rut but I prefer to call it a groove

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Like there's nothing to invent anymore
Rifling through dead memories
Now what are you looking for?
You've spent too many years pretending
You've forgotten what you're living for

It's hard to tell where the image ends and the real thing begins
It never fit so I changed my life just like a snake sheds his skin
It's too late now to go back the past behind me has closed
I'm shaking down utopias just to recover a perfect rose

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Like there's nothing to invent anymore
Rifling through dead memories
Now what are you looking for?
You've spent too many years pretending
You've forgotten what you're living for

Of politics and government I'm sick and so I'll sing
About the beauty of a kiss because that is everything
But I know this soft delusion is just a commonplace love
And our enemies will not pause for our private utopias

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Like there's nothing to invent anymore
Rifling through dead memories
Now what are you looking for?
You've spent too many years pretending
You've forgotten what you're living for
