You say you want to know what's going on
There's nothing happening in here
There's someone moving on the other side
But who it is not too clear

The mystery is that there's this itch
That somehow you just can't scratch
And somewhere, a blaze is burning
That wasn't started with a match

You say you don't like the darkness
That's just the color that's around
You say you want to end up real high
So you don't have to touch the ground

Get down on your knees
If you want to touch the sky
You want to see clearly now
You better cover up your eyes

Voices are talking in the grid
But I can't tell quite what they mean
You tell me that this is how it goes
But I think that that's a bit obscene

You say there's no difference between us
The signal's the same and that there's no real kink
The slate's been wiped clean and history won't repeat
But that's never been the way that I think

Wear your anger proud and loud and deep
That way I know what I can trust
You grab at a hole and a hollow kiss
And convince yourself that you will never rust

I've got a wire in the back of my head
Got a wire in the back of my head

Get down on your knees
If you want to touch the sky
You want to see clearly now
You better poke out your eyes
