I won't settle for this   with open arms and unclenched fists   cause someday they'll pass my stone   to throw a flower, drop a kiss   and i won't walk all over you   and heaven knows you asked me too   but even if you're by my side   heaven just won't do      and i want this world at my fingertips   its people at my feet   to give me all the things that i desire   but i could never need   and its for this desperation   i pull the stars right out of space   load them in my pistol   make the world a better place      and the fences can not keep me out   of a world they hadn't told me about   someday i'll split that skyline   oh this machine is built to climb   and i will not say i lied to you   even when its close to true   cause baby when you're close to me   i can never feel you      and i want this world at my fingertips   it's people at my feet   to give me all the things that i desire   but i could never need   and it's for this desperation   i pull the stars from outterspace   load them in my pistol   make the world better      tearing down is building   oh baby can't you see   that losing you is finding all that i could never be   and if hurting you were murder   there's no other thought i'd bleed   then to curse the bloody fingertips   that did this all to me      and i want this world at my fingertips   its people at my feet   to give me all the things that i desire   and nothing that i need   and laws of time and vision   put the stars back in the space   throw away the pistol   make the world a better place
