David & The Citizens - I'Ve Been Floating Upstream Since We Parted Lyrics

Down from the balcony somebody flew
saying there's nothing here for me and
I've got only myself to blame
for being the way that I am
idiot boy, eating mud
you symbolize so much more than you know
while the rain was soaking everything,
he thought:

Why can't I just finish what I started?
I've been floating upstream since we parted

Brick by brick
step by step, oh my god
everyone says you're hanging your head lower now
well it's a beautiful day
to fade away, to take a stand
and show them all you're not
just one more common man
and idiot rules/idiots rule
that's the only thing
that will never change
that will never fade

So why can't I just finish what I started?

I've been floating upstream since we parted
