if i'm out of touch and need reminding
just tell me i have been found
i'm walking to a new dimension
i have left familiar ground

all the things i do lately seem to you
as false behaviour, but i can't
really change your mind
this is my time
annie, you would not understand

i've [bad word] blind, i've lost my mind
yes and no, but annie, would i lie to you?
i've got control, this is my show
listen to me, annie, would i lie to you?

somebody pulled my hand with enough illusion
they have led me out to play
when you see me lie back in temptation's arms
and have it all my way

i still have my name, i still have my face
i have [bad word] away from home
does it seem so wrong if i now embrace
every single thing i've never known?

and tonight, i'll stray, i'll go too far
only in your eyes
and, for my own good
all i knew will soon be sadly dying
(soon be dying)
