Vicarious Conduct

I could hold you forever
With nothing in my arms
I could walk through fire for you
To find I encountered no harm
And I could love you completely
But you'd never feel a thing
And I could learn all your secrets
With nothingness in my brain

I don't really need to know the things
That all the people say
I don't really want to know the things
That they do from day to day
I don't really need to know, or care
About the clothes they wear
Cause it doesn't mean a thing, to me, you see

One could read your masterpiece
Or admire your work of art
I took the songs of my heroes
And I put them in my heart
Then I put the pen to work
Now I've waited so long
So wait a minute there, mister
Tell me what you think of this song

I don't really need to know the things
That all the people say
I don't really want to know the things
That they do from day to day
I don't really need to know, or care
About the clothes they wear
Cause it doesn't mean a thing, to me, you see

I don't really need to know the things
That all the people say
I don't really want to know the things
That they do from day to day
I don't really need to know, or care
About the clothes they wear
Cause it doesn't mean a thing, to me, you see
