Could it be i'm alive after all this? 
Picking pennies off the floor with my cold cold hands 
Look at me, no hands aint it cool yeah 
Look at her falling out of a taxi cab 

If you really want some understanding 
You will find 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 ask 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 this?

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
