Writing poems in your bed sit
                             E
Finding time to be the passenger

What do you really want to see?
What do you really want to see?
What do you really want see on your television screen?

I remember how we used to be
Without the world upon our TV
Well, let it lie or you can take it back
Or wrap your life around evil's track

Chorus:
But there you go, you're sailing away
But there you go
And you know you never come away
Yeah, but you should, you never lie to me
Yeah, but I will, you never come away
Yeah, but you should

Well, do you want to see the world? (What, what?)
Do you want to see the world? (What, what?)
Well, do you want to see the? (What, what, what?)
Well do you want to see the world? (What, what, what?)
Well, do you want to see the world? (What, what, what?)
I know I do
Yeah, do you want to see the world? (What, what, what?)
I know I do
Well, do you really want to? (What, what?) I know I do
Well, do you really want to? (What, what?) I know I do
Well, do you really want to see?
I know I do, I know I do, I know I do
