Richard Dawson
Problem Child
I live on a mountain
The only tall structure on this planet
The view is appalling
Just grassy plains
Grassy plains
The machines brought me here
On a wheel of neon flame
Erase the sound of my own name
My own name
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be part of the problem, no
I just want a little piece of the action
I can never unravel the mystery
Part of the problem
Part of the problem
Part of the problem
Through the ages my graphics have grown
Better, better
Thousands of years in the blink of an eye
Colons of rain, blinking goodbye
They measure my brainwaves
And force me to converse with my regret
I try to communicate but
Nothing yet
Nothing yet
On Earth I'm a child
But here I'm a prisoner and a god
A heavenly instrument
Of flesh and blood
Flesh and blood
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be part of the problem, no
I just want a little piece of the action
I can never unravel the mystery
Part of the problem
Part of the problem
Part of the problem
On the blinking horizon I see
Wales, Wales
The hands of my wristwatch
A long time ago
Pillars of bronze
Towering far beyond
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be part of the problem, no
I just want a little piece of the action
I can never unravel the mystery
Part of the problem
Part of the problem
Part of the problem
Through the fog on my lens you've become
Bigger
Brighter
Here in the desert the ancients reside
Fragments of bone
Sent to explode
Nearer and further away at the same time
Nearer
Farther
Thousands of years in the blink of an eye
Colons of rain, Blinking goodbye
