Metamorphosis

Lyrics for Metamorphosis

Please allow me to try and explain I'm living proof that man can change I knew what I wanted I knew how to get it It didn't make me happy So I started again What I wanted to be was A family man But nature had some Alternative plans So I did without the lot Put emotion on hold And hoped my instincts Would do what they were told I wanna know, yeah I wanna know But every now and then Often at night A particular feeling would surface in spite Of what I'd told myself And tried to deny I kept on asking the question: why? Why? Why? Why? I wanna know You grow up and experience this A total metamorphosis It's all about change It's a metamorphosis With time and age I had to change 'Cause my behaviour Was getting strange People on the street Caught my eye And I began to think I might be their kind of guy The long-term suppression Of an adolescent urge Was in retreat And I was on the verge Of falling in love Or having fun Time was running out Something had to be done I wanna know, yeah I wanna know Where was I? Laying down the law Dancing with the others Out on the floor Music and smoke What did it mean? Somebody spoke And I went into a dream I had what I wanted Madly in love Nothing else mattered This was enough Questions were answered Which used to perplex In particular those about The big s.e.x. I wanna know, yeah I wanna know I wanna know, yeah Tell me what's the reason Tell me what's the reason You grow up and experience this A total metamorphosis It's all about love It's a metamorphosis Dreaming is easy, life is tough I got the picture The most important thing Is not to end up bitter 'Cause when you start to feel Increasingly forlorner - Woomph! - love comes Right around the corner It may not last But here am I Once a caterpillar Now a butterfly It can seem strange But when you reminisce It's all about change It's a metamorphosis It's all about love It's a metamorphosis
