| The Steps You Take
Do you find yourself thinking that little in your life
Turned out the way you thought it would
The steps you take towards a change
Don’t bring you far from where you stood
Have you learned to resign, to wait it out, to compromise
Finally to endure
When it settles in your soul like a disease for which there’s no remedy or cure
Though we don’t talk about it
We feel the way you do
No we don’t talk about it
We leave this one a taboo
Like the Great Houdini you’re planning a way out of here
Getting up in the quiet of morning and disappear
Leave without a trace
When you still had faith in love believing it would be
Your saviour and your doom
It made you feel you rose above the mediocre
Gave your life some headroom
Like in the song you’re losing your religion
When you didn’t find what you sought
You built a church around the familiar
Blessed the silence that it brought
Like the Great Houdini you’re planning a way out of here
Getting up in the quiet of morning and disappear
Leave without a trace of remorse on your face
Are you one of us ordinary people?
Another aimless son
Of generation self-realisation
In the year two thousand and fun
Are you lonely and lost at sea?
Are you wretched and week?
Looking for an easy way out
Of all of which we don’t speak
