One – we all fear the rising sun
Shield your eyes down the barrel of your rose-coloured gun
Just once, I’d love to see you come undone
Because the sun’s become a mirror and it’s over and you’ve won
Take it all from me, I’ll stay right where I wanna-
(Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
You can take it all from me, but I’m where I wanna be)

And then it’s gone - that golden shine you adored
Digging deeper in your pockets, all that’s left is a hole
You start to panic - Finally, a sign of a soul!
Maybe now you’ll drop a level and you’ll join who you speak for
Take, take, take, you’ll see, I’ll stay right where I wanna-
(Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be)
You can take the world from me, but I’m where I wanna be--

All that power in one hand, our lives in the other
– which dice to roll tonight, my friend?
All you take is yours forever
So buy yourself some time, and keep the rest ‘till the end

‘Cause when you’re looking skyward, while we’re going under
– the sacrifice is yours to make
If we go, we go together
And when we’re six feet down, you’re not the one to be saved
With palms so clean and unscathed, you could tell the future!
Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be - with no promise and no dream, won’t it save me if I see like you?!
With a voice so wise, you could speak the truth!
So what’s it gonna be, gonna be, gonna be if we cannot agree?
In sickness or health, for better or worse
Dear Mr. Magic, with your healing hands:
I wanna be as far from magic as I fucking can!

(The only place I wanna be, wanna be
I wanna get inside your head where you are not the king
Forget about illusions, I’m not your devotee
No more secrets from you, Magic Man, ‘cause I see everything)

(The only place I wanna be, wanna be

Everything
