Pioneer (Sting)
Album: Alternative Rock Common Tongues
Lyrics
Tip toe, keep it alive
Something lives and yet a hundred things die
a fateful few will make it through but need just a little more than I am used to
with just this little bit to see myself through
I'm a man of many flaws, hollow promises
I heard you don't buy them when I offer them up to you
If I'm a case you leave alone then all the swaying to and fro is not right or within reason
I keep running but it's never clear
Why I defend you like a new idea
I am as pushy as a pioneer
Now I'm a man of many flaws, hollow promises
I heard you don't buy them but I offer them anyway
If I'm a case you leave alone then all the blowing hot and cold is not right if I am freezing
I keep running but it's never clear
Why I defend you like a new idea
With good fortune and favour we both go fishing for someone
Maybe they are not much of anyone and that's new to me
I lay my head on the table
I go searching for answers
I guess who's starved of attention and who's too high to figure out
You must be telling me something, telling me over and over
Sometimes you've got to hurt someone before you love someone else
I'm a pioneer
