Protean

She said we could never be

That don't really matter to me anyway

We're an island in a military campaign

Colonel taking orders from champagne

Coast is a target for both side's siege

And those steel caged machines...

Can't change their direction

Can't change their direction

She said there's nothing ever new in the arts

Right then I knew we would start to break away

That thinking is lazy

(Lazy)

Underground Paisley

Tell myself this is why we stopped

But I know I was dropped...

And later changed my perspective

I had to change my perspective

And like the mannequin's holy glow

The rock pop singer in his gaudy robes

What's in the mirror is not really there

But if I stare...

I'll want to change my direction

I have to change my direction

Strip away - refine direction

Gotta change my direction
