I saw you sitting at the centre of a circle

Everybody, everybody wanted

Something from you

I saw you sitting there

I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music

Caught you playing, caught you praying to the

Voice inside you

I saw you swaying there

I don’t care what you want to be

I go back so far I’m in front of me

It doesn’t matter what they say

They’re giving the game away

I can see the world tonight

Look into the future

See it in a different light

I can see the world tonight

I heard you listening to a secret conversation

You were crying, you were trying not to

Let them hear you

I heard you listening in

No never mind what they want to do

You’ve got a right to your point of view

It doesn’t matter what they say

They’re giving the game away

I can see the world tonight

Look into the future

See it in a different light

I can see the world tonight

I can see the world tonight

I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi

You were hoping, you were hoping that the

Ground would swallow you

I saw you hiding there

I don’t care what you want to be

I go back so far I’m in front of me

It doesn’t matter what they say

They’re giving the game away

I can see the world tonight

Look into the future

See it in a different light

I can see the world tonight
