Never mind the starting gun   cover's up the curtain's drawn   standing in the outline   pin the medal to the floor   the hero to the open door   skin is only outside   don't cut me down   don't bring me round   don't break my fall   I'm coming out today   don't take me back   don't change at all   I'm coming out today      cut into decision day   we move ahead in different ways   standing in the outline   we move the arrow to the cross   the building to the butcher block   skin is only outside I don't mind   don't cut me down   don't bring me round   don't break my fall   I'm coming out today   don't take me back   don't change at all   I'm coming out today      everybody's gone again   falling out and falling into   his father's on his knees again   reaching out for reason and truth   don't cut me down   don't bring me round   don't break my fall   I'm coming out today   don't take me back   don't change at all   I'm coming out today
