Standing on the Shoulders (Of Average Sized People) Songtext
von The Fairlanes

Distract me from a fall
I know that without you
I wouldn′t have a chance at all

So thank you for the lift
This 5'10" frame
May be average in stature
But I think that average is a state of mind
That together we defy
This whole damn world is ours tonight

(Everybody knows)
(Everybody′s got their time)
(Let's work together)
(Stretch our Warhol minutes into a lifetime)


So filter out the noise
Drown the distractions
Diminish the dissonance
It's beautiful what′s left
I can hear my own heartbeat
I hear my own heartbeat

Sometimes (Sometimes) I get a glimpse of my true fate
The world from my eyes (The world from my eyes)
And what a difference a year makes

Take this television
A utopian vision of a better way (A better way)
Well you can fuck that system
That′s their definition of a better life
It's not mine
So what?

Standing tall
On the shoulders of those who would give it all (Give it all)
Take my hand
And look in my eyes
And know it can be done


I thank you all
For your understanding of everything (Everything)
Take this chance
To be part of this something
This anything called life
