Heidi, there are things you couldn't possibly know
It's a race of angels; a line in the snow
A flame in the dark; a prayer to Saint Jude
He's the patron saint of nothingness: there's nothing he can do
'Cos it's all, all in my hands
He's not a god. No, he is only a man
So I'm telling everybody I will not come undone
But being so superior is just no fucking fun
No
If I had a gun, I think I'm able
If I had a gun I'd know what to do
If I had a gun I would be perfectly unstable
But nothing really changes then, that's true
Oh, Heidi, I am many things, but I thank God I'm not like you
'Cos kids of today; they think they're so damn profound
You give them one slim book of Kerouac and they're ready to expound
On the way of the world; on what makes things art
They couldn't find their way around Kentucky or the map of a human heart
So it's all in my hands
I'm not a god 'cos I will never be a man
So I'm telling everybody I've learnt to fill the hole
I'm baking cakes on Sunday for the teatime of my soul
If I had a gun, I think I'm able
If I had a gun I'd know what to do
If I had a gun I would be perfectly unstable
But nothing really changes then, that's true
Oh, Heidi, I am many things, but I thank God I'm not like you
'Cos
I have a heart. I think it beats
I don't say things I do not mean to appear clever
Oh, Heidi, I'm not you
Maybe that's strange to you
Maybe I'm just strange
If I had a gun, I think I'm able
If I had a gun I'd know what to do
If I had a gun I would be perfectly unstable
But nothing really changes then, that's true
Oh, Heidi, I am many things, but I thank God I'm not like you
