Party animal or a bird in a cage   Mine is a double, the spirit in the age   Money for old rope, the coin spinning round   Your time is up, your time is down      I could read a book, I could watch a film   I could spend a day perfectly still   A solitary ring on a link in a chain   We could look alike but we're not all tame      I want it, I want it all the same   But I'll learn it on the way   I wanna remember all the colors and the sounds and the shades   But I'll learn it on the way      There's someone here to freeze, it couldn't be   A lot of people tease that we were free   I fell off my chair, I flew into the air   But I didn't land, didn't land nowhere      I want it, I want it all the same   I'll learn it on the way   I wanna remember all the colors and the sounds and the shades   But I'll learn it on the way      I don't care what they were doing before   I don't care what, they could do it again, again   I don't even care what they are doing here right now   But I'll learn it, I'll learn it on the way      And the margin's so wide, it's a line down the middle   Straight down the middle, a dividing line   Never, never, never getting anything together   Never getting anything together one time      I want it, I want it all the same   But I'll learn it on the way   I wanna remember all the colors and the sounds and the shades   But I'll learn it on the way      Learn it on the way
