Lyrics The John Butler Trio

The John Butler Trio

Zebra

I could be loud man, I could be silent

I could be young man or I could be old

I could be a gentleman, or I could be violent

I could turn hot man or I could be cold

I could be just like the calm before the storm boy waitin' for all hell yeah to break loose

I could be innocent or I could be guilty

Doesn't mean that I won't believe in the news

So I'm singing ...

I could be rich like a wandering gypsy

I could be poor like a fat wallet lost

I could be the first man or I could come last

It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across

I could be red, blue, black or white sunset

As dark as a day boy or bright as a night

I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon

I made it from the stars boy I'm shining so bright

So I'm singing...

I could be asleep boy, or I could be awake

I could be alive and a be the walking dead

I could be ignorant or I could be informed

I could lead my life man or I could be lead

I could be anything I put my mind to boy all I gotta do is give myself a half a chance

I could bring love back into my life

And share it with the world if I had some balance
