behind that cynic’s steady gaze...

So far so extreme
If I’m jaded, you’re naive
But behind that cynic’s steady gaze
There’s a wide-eyed lover drink for days
Oh I don’t want to be
One of those guys who only sees
The joke behind the lie
Too much city life
Maybe I don’t know wrong from right
But baby I ain’t too cool to believe

I wasn’t born yesterday
I don’t die for love
Just let the record speak
Then I carry on
