lyrics

Wide open gates let meandering Fates trample all over me
Still we step out for the usual bout of creeping anxiety
Here we go strolling down the street, all kinds of people there to meet
Will we make it today?
Our drama's in the round
There's no shade to be found
And no-one else is left to play the fool

I've been creeping creeping creeping
But shadows all come to an end
I've been stalling stalling stalling
Over and over again
Oh, give me the strength to start
Help me open up my heart
Give me the strength to start steppin' out

Upstanding guys with guided missile eyes locking them onto yours truly
I swear they talk, watching as I walk, of what they would do with me
Intimidation rules the game, wearing you down 'til you're the same
Now go run and hide...
Like tattoos on the sky
Birds wheel around on high
And here I stand, feet glued to the ground

I've been nudging nudging nudging
My load right out onto the ledge
I've been stepping stepping stepping
Over the cracks as they spread
Oh, give me the strength to start
Help me open up my heart
Give me the strength to start steppin' out

[Interlude for the cavalry]

When I was young, down the High Street I'd come, my Daddy would carry me
He'd hoist me high above the world pushing by: no-one could reach for me
I'm gonna climb up to that place, washing the fear from my face
They'll get what they see
Across mountains of the mind
We fight for what we find
That boldness I believe holds the key...

I've been pushing pushing pushing
Tipping it over the edge
Fear is rising rising rising
Steaming straight on for the bend

Oh give me...

I've been creeping...

Oh give me...

I'm steppin', I'm steppin', I'm steppin' out...
