True Believers

(album: True Colours - 1984)

Stuck inside my harvard box
Behind the door the bauhaus locked
I'm wrestling with a new ideal
I'm working out the way I feel
I just came back from Cultureburg
Where I tried to learn the painted word
People there were so convinced
It's kept me thinking ever since

Crazy, but true
I want to believe like you

"come with me", the teacher said
"no side-to-side, look straight ahead
'cause if you want true confidence
You'd best forget your common sense.
Go find yourself a point of view
And if you need some help to choose
Just dance the dance named after me
If you believe then you will see"

Crazy, but true
Now I believe in you

There was a time
When we could make head nor tail of the story
Now it's sublime
And we're not afraid anymore
'cause we're all

True believers

[solo]

So tell me it's true
I want to believe in you
Crazy, but true
I want to believe in you

Blind faith makes such strange demands
Sometimes a think I'll never understand
Answers on a postcard, please
I'd like to know what you believe

True believers ...

Are you
A true believer

(I wanna believe in you)
