Quotes[]
Andy: “Originally for Skylarking: It's the only vocal I ever did while drunk. But this gives me the opportunity to finally thank Todd Rundgren for producing that album and ask him to forgive me for making it appear that I did not like him.”
Andy (on the demo): “Banged out in the attic for Skylarking. An untypically boastful kind of lyric, but then again, I am feeling like someone else.”
Lyrics[]
Yes, it's true
I want that apple, just like William Tell
No more floor gazing, no more head down the well
I'm feeling extrovert
I should be shaking the stars instead of hugging the dirt
I swear!
I'm really burning, fit to boil up the sea
Human volcano at a zillion degrees
I'm feeling extrovert
Instead of quiet and shy I'm really dying to blurt out
I feel like someone else
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
I feel like someone else
I feel new, not so blue
I feel
Extrovert
No hidden message, nothing political
You needn't listen, I just wanted to show
I'm feeling extrovert
I am the lion who's roaring not the mouse that gets hurt
I feel like someone else
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
I feel like someone else
I feel new, not so blue
I feel
My trumpet plays for you
I'm gonna blow it now
