Strange how things can change
How your consciousness can fade
Reason can't compete
With a drug that cheers your name
And there you are on cue where the light falls
Waving at strangers wearing your name out

You are not yourself here
You are someone else dear
Aren't you terrific
Aren't you terrific now

All the world applauds
To the popular tricks you choose
Who are they to stop
When your hands are clapping too
And you believe that it's an achievement
Scratching them where they have no feeling

You are not yourself here
You are someone else dear
Aren't you terrific
Aren't you terrific now

It was you
Who spoke out when no one heard
Oh yeah
You're not as pure as you were
Vanity hangs you by threads

And right now I wish some things were undone
It's as natural as it is fun
This is not the time to give up yourself to anyone

You are not yourself here
You are someone else dear
Aren't you terrific
Aren't you terrific
If you saw yourself here
You would be amazed dear
Aren't you terrific
Finally terrific now
