You can't trust that sign   You're sleepin' in all the time    You'll see me on the screen    Through all the other soul's dark walls    With a sword    The mad circus says goodnight      The tape machine exposed    From all its spinnin' round and round    I've scratched all my reels    I've bitten all my nails to the bone    Like a stone   You come back and thrown up      Away from the top   And away from the drills    But kid I'm a pilot   It's all I believe in   It's all I believe in   You can ride on my back      And time on your hands   You spend your mornings down by the tracks   You had the drivers sign your arms   My hospitals will welcome you home   Like a tomb   With gun marks achin'      To look on your grace   And believe what you say   But kid I'm a pilot   It's all I believe in   It's all I believe in   You can ride on my back      If I stay in this room   They'll remember me for my youth   If I stay in this room   They'll remember me for my youth      If I give it all up   If I give it all up   If I give it all up      But kid I'm a pilot    It's all I believe in   It's all I believe in   It's all I believe in   You can ride on my back
