Everything Is Recorded, Peter Gabriel, Idk - Beyond The Brilliant Haze

Intermission
duality so indifferent
I brief for the mission
I'm murdering these auditions
I'm hurtling through the valley
but no
I came from the alley
the dirtiest of the streets
I see through where the crack be
I see when they don't like me
short or rare
but highly likely
hikey
contradict the light
With the dog
I'm not hyping
hiking up the green hill
made of dough
just so I can bring it right back down to the pole
Don't act like you don't know
my people live in sorrow
Pennies for my thoughts
only dollars when it's borrowed
I'm living for today
I can't think about tomorrow
The haters all around
but my vision more like mono
You claiming you too
who
Everybody bono
Everyone's a leader
We keep our feelings bottled
Heart is always full
I'd rather make it hollow
And when I open up my heart
Racin' like the engine full
Throttle
say
Many the nights
Many the days
So inaccessible
In this land beyond the brilliant haze
And here is the money
there is the load
of us is the number two
Living in a world where one of us is gon' probably lose
White creates the spread of the path
Which one am I gon' choose
who
Since blues clues
I knew that all of this would come true
My show you to the door
I'ma take you to the exit
I don't have to wait
I'ma take you to the exit
I don't have to stress it
You ain't gotta test it
I don't really know
When the world only be breathless
Am I just a pawn
Or the king
Or the queen
Freddie Mercury
I just wanna break free
But every time I try
they just tryna break me
Pushin' all my buttons
tryna make a fake me
Many the nights
Many the days
So inaccessible
In this land beyond the brilliant haze
And here is the money
there is the load
and this is the way you travel
if you want to see the world explode
