Anonymity Lyrics

You were a bright new thing

Turned heads in untold numbers

Here comes a private life

It starts to take you under

As over every head

Rain sweeps a generalisation

This is your baptism into the working nation

At the door they say giving you the key

That you can be whoever you choose to

Anonymity anonymity

A condition you have to get used to

Are you impressed by the power in failure's embrace?

A power that can make everything fall into place

In this after-life drop a line to me

I am someone that you are news to

Anonymity anonymity

A condition you have to get used to

You're living here and now

Only on short-term leases

The past keeps coming round

In undigested pieces

Among the cancelled eyes

You are set right for spoiling

But far beneath your feet

The earth continues boiling

At the door they say giving you the key

That you can be whoever you choose to

Anonymity anonymity

A condition you have to get used to

Are you impressed by the power in failure's embrace?

A power that can make everything fall into place

In this after-life drop a line to me

I am someone that you are news to

Anonymity anonymity

A condition you have to get used to

Anonymity anonymity

Anonymity anonymity
