A Rock On The Beach

next song/previous song

I used to think I was someone special
Put on earth for greater things
I used to think that I was a giant
An archangel gonna spread his wings
But now you know I feel like a molecule
Living my life atomically

Just a rock on the beach
Another fish in the sea
Another face in the crowd
And the only thing is...
You love me

I used to think I was quite a dancer
I could glide across the floor
I used to think I was one in a million
A Nureyev or Astaire for sure
But now you know I feel like a mannequin
Fingers and thumbs and two left feet

Just a rock on the beach...

Juvenile dreams will leave you flat
To be a king or a queen you can forget about that
With feet of clay we all turn to dust
Now all that I need is someone to trust

I used to think I could rise above it
Walk right in or walk away
Now I don't know if I'm coming or going
Or what to do or what to say
But now you know I feel like an animal
Living my life instinctively

Just a rock on the beach...
