they say it can't be proven
but I'm holding the truth in my hand
I guess I got a little dizzy
countin grains of sand

they treat you just like venus
but it's not so black and white i
t's not love you're after
and you know that I'm right

I guess you're gonna scream
till they bring the cameras
you're gonna flap your wings
till you leave the ground
but you can only fly so high
until you have to come down

I'm frozen and I'm jealous
I want to ride with you
I never could get over
how you laugh on cue.
Restitution's easy
throwing coins to the depraved
but you got to get on your knees
if you wanna be saved...

I guess you're gonna scream
till they bring the cameras
you're gonna flap your wings
till you leave the ground
but you can only fly so high
until you have to come down

you're everybody's minor hero
but you got a major flaw
cause when the wind starts blowin
you go down like straw.
I can't afford the sugar
you can never make the bitter sweet
no matter how hard you try
you only bring defeat...

I guess you're gonna scream
till they bring the cameras
you're gonna flap your wings
till you leave the ground
but you can only fly so high
until you have to come down
