Well I know what I like and I like what I see   I know what I want and I know what I need   And the more that I get the more that I need   So if you're coming along well you're coming at ease      Everybody screams, don't know what to believe   I just follow someone else's life   And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own   I just follow someone else's life   And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave      So it seems - jump or be sane      I want to move on but I know when to stay   Oh you can stand there all day, or you can shoulder the blame   But they're spoiling the paintwork and they're ruining the line   And I've been here before and it ain't worth your overtime      Everybody screams, don't know what to believe   I just follow someone else's life   And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own   I just follow someone else's life      They've got me running around   But it's not work that they've found   Just something to keep me occupied   And all the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave      So it seems - jump or be sane      Jump or be sane   Jump or be sane   Jump or be sane   Jump or be sane       Catch me if you can, my feet won't ever feel the ground again      So let the overture take over and the symphony restrain   Let the orchestra be passion and the timpanis the rain      Everybody screams, don't know what to believe   I just follow someone else's life   And all my bookcases groan, none of the words are my own   I just follow someone else's life      They've got me running around   But it's not work that they've found   Just something to keep me occupied      It's a mean machine   Keep it tight, keep it clean   Just something to keep me occupied      And as a matter of course, be not vexed by remorse   I'm not lost but one who's gone before   And as the knowledge I crave is waiting there in my grave      Then it seems - jump or be sane      Jump or be sane   Jump or be sane   Jump or be sane
