For better or worse
My whole life has been
A walk in the dark
In the stink of the city
After hours and alone

Cause I’m brave
Cause I’m driven
Cause I’m the kid no one ever thought would hurl the stone
Cause I’m the kid who thought he’d better give you a reason to worry
Cause I’m the kid, the invisible kid, who had nothing to lose

The rest of the group
Stuck close to the pack
But you could find me
In the stink of the city
The thick of the salty night

Cause I’m brave
Cause I’m driven
Cause I’m the kid no one ever thought would hurl the stone
Cause I’m the kid who thought he’d better give you a reason to worry
Cause I’m the kid, the invisible kid, who had nothing to lose

Didn’t hold the chain saw
Wrong side of the branch
Other people fell
In the stink of the city
But I’d a grey sense ’bout me

Cause I’m brave
Cause I’m driven
Cause I’m the kid no one ever thought would hurl the stone
Cause I’m the kid who thought he’d better give you a reason to worry
Cause I’m the kid, the invisible kid, who had nothing to lose

I miss the dagger
Sure, from time to time
So paper and pen
In the stink of the city
Must share the time-traveler

Cause I’m brave
Cause I’m driven
Cause I’m the kid no one ever thought would hurl the stone
Cause I’m the kid that thought he’d better give you a reason to worry
Cause I’m the kid, the invisible kid, who had nothing to lose
