lyrics

When I'm out
In the open
Wanted to be
Everlasting
And in control
So

Can I count it?
Can I keep this
Terrestrial?

Betty was a better time
A cannibal other times
An animal all the time

When I'm out
In the open
Wanted to be
Everlasting
And in control
So

Can I count it?
Can I keep this
Terrestrial?

Betty was a better time
A cannibal other times
An animal all the time
Caught up in the worst of times
Couldn't be a better mind

And I see it
Almost every night
Yeah
Such a tease
Yeah
And it's working alright
Yeah
An idea
Yeah
It is what we lack
Yeah
