Crack the spine and relate us
To yellowed words on brand new pages
All we are, all the volumes
Can contain us, can contain us
So place your blame and punctuate it
With sharp -tongued words
from sharp -tongued sages
All we are, all the wisdom
Can't contain us, can't contain us
We're typical, we're typical
We're typical, we're typical
And all the words we knew
On the fire are crackling pages
of ancient words and ancient places.
Take my hand through the forest
We'll read the lines that
Wrinkled eyes and wrinkled faces
We're typical, we're typical
We're typical, we're typical
And all the words we knew
All I know, will not stand
On the shoulders of greatness
And all you are, and all I am
You're typical, you're typical
We're typical, we're typical
We're typical, we're typical
And all the words you knew
