lyrics

I guess you think you've got me figured out
I guess you know what I'm about to say
I've dug a path so deep
It's hard to keep from going that way

And I guess you must be tired of everything
I do to keep myself from answering
the truth that won't stop knockin'
I just shut my ears and keep on walking

Ah...

Let me just stay here
Let me just stay here
And walk around
my private town
look at that skyline
Baby, it's all mine
And no one here to tell me how to be
Shouldn't they see?
Shouldn't they see?

See, I used to think that I could sort it out
the mystery of Superman in doubt
one day you can fly
next day you're just tryin' to do without

And now everybody wonders where I've gone
Maybe to the one place I belong
It's not so complicated
I just go where I'm appreciated

Ah...

Let me just stay here
Let me just stay here
And walk around
my private town
under that street light
out of the spotlight
And no one here to tell me what to do
Cuz isn't it true?
Isn''t ti true...

That we're all just robots, robots
with the voices of the gods inside
You try to listen, you to try to steer
but you're mostly just along
for the ride

Chorus
