Periscope

Where do you think he's gone

That skinny boy in jeans

With some fantastic dreams

He leapt from song to song

And as he danced all night

Vivacious and polite

His face was always feared

By those he'd engineered

To grin from ear to ear

Now it's a joke as I up periscope

I can see how the land used to lie

The world would float

Then sink again like soap

You know I didn't have to try

To find how things looked in your paradise

(Used to be) (4x)

Where do you think he went

The one who thought he was

The one nailed to the cross

His purse of fame was spent

On custom-made guitars

And big black shiny cars

When all he owned was great

And went down on the slate

That all he did was break

People's hearts

Now it's a joke as I up periscope

I can see how the land used to lie

The world would float

Then sink again like soap

You know I didn't have to try

To find how things looked in your paradise

(Used to be) (4x)
