For years, I've tried To feel normal in their eyes So I'll fake it fine tonight In an old refrain from the royal county lines Only halfway through All the plans I made to pay my dues Paper-thin and easy to bruise I'm cursing what I've learned for seeming true I'll be coming back as a beam of light On the need-to-know With the scene and the afterglow Don't think I can take much more Oh, bury me on some quiet fire road Pour into my thoughts And find the reasons I forgot to have or not Is it all the same with the kind of luck we got? I'll be coming back with a lighter load Once in a while, I might feel less low Life in a mind like this one Is never what you'd ask for So turn the key to keep me on And I'll be coming back as the one you want All my very best on the bottom line But I'll be coming back as a beam of light
