[Verse 1]
A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man, don't lay so still, you're not yet young, there's time to teach
Point to point, point observation (children carry reservations)

[Chorus]
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Leaves me cold
Leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own
A hundred million birds fly

[Verse 2]
Singer, sing me a given
Singer, sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Everybody's looking on

[Chorus]
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own
A hundred million birds fly away

[Post-Chorus]
Away
Away
