lyrics

I’ll let the hours pass, I rest on Plexiglass,
Face paint on my shirt, glitter on you’re skirt
A hundred miles away, I’ll call you soon to say,
I'm learning to be human; I'm learning to be human.

I'm learning to be human, I don’t want to get fooled again,
I'm learning to be human, I'm back in ’92 again
I'm learning to be human, the form I am assuming, the world I am consuming.

The people I grew up with are now prescribing pills,
Building their own houses, teaching business skills,
Off somewhere in china and we’re on Jupiter,
I'm learning to be human, I'm learning to be human.

I'm learning to be human, I don’t want to get fooled again,
I'm learning to be human, I need to learn from you again
So effortlessly human, the form I am assuming, but I don’t know what I'm doing.
