Released: October 15, 1996

Songwriter: Paula Cole

Producer: Paula Cole

[Verse 1]
How many times did I have to hear you say to me
"Self obsessed artist, center of your universe"
Well, I believed your every word
And I believed you were my God

[Chorus]
Nietzsche's eyes
Nietzsche's kind
Failed in flight to us
And all my love

[Verse 2]
Grandmother, mother
And now I see it in myself
I take on the water until the dam threatens to break
I became a little dull, my voice became too small

[Chorus]
Nietzsche's eyes
Nietzsche's kind
Failed in flight to us
And all my love

[Bridge]
I'm shakin', I'm shakin'
I'm getting down this fantasy
And I'm shakin', I'm shakin'
I'm getting down this, getting down this
You were not my Superman
I didn't know
Just held the phone

All my love, I'm shakin', I'm
I'm getting down this
You were not my Superman

[Verse 3]
I wasn't honest
I tried to philosophize
Only too late did I see that I wore Nietzsche's eyes
Now that I step back to see, I haven't been me

And all my love

[Chorus]
Nietzsche's eyes
Nietzsche's kind
Failed in flight to us
And all my love

[Bridge]
I'm shakin', I'm shakin'
I'm getting down this fantasy
And I'm shakin', I'm shakin'
I'm getting down this
Getting down this
Getting down this
Getting down this
Getting down this

Getting down this
Getting down this
Getting down this
Getting down this
Getting down this
