History sits in a chair at the table listening to everything I have to say
She doesn't know that I long to be able to follow danger to go astray

And I am an actor she is the audience, I am a legend in my own mind
Everything I can't say is irrelevant – Everything I don't have… mine this time

History sits on a bench in the garden watching the children picking the flowers
She doesn't that I long to be able to possess ancient magical powers

And I am an actor she is the audience, I am a legend in my own mind
Everything I can't say is irrelevant – Everything I don't have… mine this time

There's a mouse that's trapped in the wall by the kitchen and it
Keeps me up in the middle of the night and it's
Clawing its way to freedom – putting up a very impressive fight

Oh to be a creature so small… oh to have the dignity to know
There must be a way out of this if I just find the right tunnel

Take me down to the fire-breathing waterbed
Tie me up with imaginary string and
Calm my nerves by pretending to be soothing… soothing

History sits in a chair at the table listening to everything I have to say
She doesn't know that I long to be able to follow danger to go astray

And I am an actor she is the audience, I am a legend in my own mind
Everything I can't say is irrelevant – Everything I don't have… mine this time

This time it's gonna be different – I'm gonna start telling you the truth
I'll give you my word as… my word as…
I am an actor she is the audience… she is the audience… she is the audience
