In your ivory tower
We pull the covers off
Against another spiteful day
It was you who took me
You took me away
From this place to a curious cage

But please keep me close
It was you kept away, sent away
Unlooked for today
But please hold me close
It was you kept away, sent away
Untouched for today

[Chorus]
Half meek, half wild
How I love my halfway child
Halfway child smiled
How I love my halfway child, child

Oh yes, things move faster here
Wondering aimlessly
Questioning everything
For a charm and a smile
Trying to make your way
From this place to a curious cage

But please keep me close
It was you kept away, sent away
Unlooked for today
But please hold me close
It was you kept away, sent away
Untouched for today

[Chorus]
Half meek, half wild
How I love my halfway child
Halfway child smiled
How I love my halfway child

In your ivory tower
We'll look out at all the land
That you have in your power
Is this the life that you had planned

In your ivory tower
We'll look out at all the land
That you have in your power
Is this the life that you had planned
