Could it be I'm alive after all that?
Picking pennies off the floor with my cold, cold hands.

Look at me no hands, ain't it cool yeah?
Look at her falling out of a taxi cab.

If you really want some understanding,
You will learn it can be quite [bad word] 
If you really want to understand it,
You will learn it can be quite demanding.

You and me trying hard to remember,
How we ever started out with our sights so high.

Looking down, seeing your yellow fingers,
And if you don't understand then at least that's why.

If you really want some understanding,
You will learn it can be quite [bad word] 
If you really want to understand it,
You will learn it can be quite demanding.

Could it be I'm alive after all that?
Picking pennies off the floor with my cold hands.

Look at me no hands, ain't it cool yeah?
Look at her falling out of a taxi cab.

If you really want some understanding,
You will learn it can be quite [bad word] 
If you really want to understand it,
You should talk to Mr. Understanding.
