Michael Caine

(I am Michael Caine)

He's walking where I'm afraid, I don't know

I see the firemen jumping from the windows

There's panic and I hear somebody scream

He picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket

I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean

I can't remember, tell me what's his name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing, it's another broken morning

I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him

He didn't seem to hear, just turned away

The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers straight at you

He had to sacrifice his pride, yes, and throw it all away

(I am Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered, he walks 'round and 'round in circles

There is no place he can ever call his own

He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window, there's nothing he can now do

All he wanted was to remain sane, he can't remember his own name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph

(I think we got it here)
