I won't settle for this With open arms and unclenched fists Cause someday they'll pass my stone To throw a flower, drop a kiss And i won't walk all over you And heaven knows you asked me too But even if you're by my side Heaven just won't do And i want this world at my fingertips Its people at my feet To give me all the things that i desire But i could never need And its for this desperation I pull the stars right out of space Load them in my pistol Make the world a better place And the fences can not keep me out Of a world they hadn't told me about Someday i'll split that skyline Oh this machine is built to climb And i will not say i lied to you Even when its close to true Cause baby when you're close to me I can never feel you And i want this world at my fingertips It's people at my feet To give me all the things that i desire But i could never need And it's for this desperation I pull the stars from outterspace Load them in my pistol Make the world better Tearing down is building Oh baby can't you see That losing you is finding all that i could never be And if hurting you were murder There's no other thought i'd bleed Then to curse the bloody fingertips That did this all to me And i want this world at my fingertips Its people at my feet To give me all the things that i desire And nothing that i need And laws of time and vision Put the stars back in the space Throw away the pistol Make the world a better place
