Lyrics
I stood up on the stage
I started to sing my song
I said I can rectify
Everything thats wrong
And I couldn't understand
Why people laughed
I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand
I understand
I moved across the stage
I sang loud and proud in time
I said I look into animals eyes
And I see mine
I see mine
And I couldn't understand
Why people laughed
I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand
I understand
Spotlight on the stage
For the whole world to see
I said I am she
And he is me
He is me
In full flight on the stage
I am now so poorly lit
I sing it because I could never speak it
I could never speak it
And I couldn't understand
Why people laughed
I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand
I understand
I froze up on the stage
The soul open wide
And people laughed so hard
That they cried
