Tell me a story, tell me a story, let me drift Tell me a story, tell me a story, let me drift Make me think I'm not really in this place Let your words run like summer rain down my face Let your voice caress my mind like a loving touch I'm not asking too much I just don't want the worry of telling myself Tell me a story, tell me a story, let me drift Tell me a story, tell me a story, frantic drift Let me rest in peace, or in pieces let me die Just tell me I can survive - if you want to keep me alive Frantic drift Frantic drift Frantic drift Frantic drift And you try to tell me about Jesus and your gods But I've heard it all before So I try but I can't say anything new That makes me sick but I'm still doing better than you Frantic drift, frantic drift, frantic drift, frantic drift Say I'll be alive in the future after the war And tell me things will be better than before And tell me tales of lights And time and space And tell me there'll be problems I can face I don't care if you're lying Tell me a story, let me drift Tell me a story, I'm frantic let me drift Oh tell me a story, I'm frantic let me drift Tell me a story, let me drift Tell me a story, I'm frantic let me drift
