I once saw a man on fire

staring out his window

watching as the flames grew

higher and higher

i thought that i saw him cry

or was he only laughing?

as his laugh went rushing out

And maybe we're just like him

maybe we're all waiting

for a moment to begin

Who of us are open?

who of us have freedom, really?

who of us can tell me what these

dark days will bring?

all of us are hurting

all of us are crazy now

all of us are watching the world

as it spins

I once had a bird like you

a bird of prey

still you're tearing at my insides

and yesterday when you flew

so far away

if you find the morning

save a piece for me

Who of us are open?

who of us have freedom, really?

who of us can tell me what these

dark days will bring?

all of us are hurting

all of us are crazy now

we're crazy now!

I smoke a cigarette

i'll eat the flesh instead

another whiskey more or less

or more or less yeah

i like the drugs that sail

i love you when we fail

when we fail

I once saw a man on fire

staring out his window

watching as the flames grew

higher and higher

i thought that i saw him cry

or was he only laughing?

laughing

Who of us are open?

who of us have freedom, really?

who of us can tell what these

dark days can bring?

all of us are hurting

all of us are crazy now

we're crazy now!

All of us are hating

all of us are dreaming

all of us are watching

these times of our lives

we want it all

we want for nothing

for nothing now
