lyrics

Take me to your leader, or lead me to your taker,
All I want to know is - how have you not noticed?
That time keeps passing you by - you need to find a new alibi,
What have you got to show for this?


This Life - life - ‘cause things’ll never be the same
But there’s truth in your eyes, despite your disguise
And somehow - there’s still meaning in pain.


‘And what are we doing here?’ you whisper in your sleep
Shouldn’t it be obvious?
‘Cause it’s happening now, if you’re ready or not
But you won’t find it at the bottom of a pint-glass.
‘Cause it’s singing, it’s singing the cosmos in a bus-stop.


And living this life - life - ‘cause things’ll never be the same
But there’s light in your eyes, despite your disguise
And somehow - there’s still meaning in pain.


And I’m not getting any younger, and I am sorry for the taste,
Of the sense of an ending that appears in the contours of my face.
So kiss the morning sunrise on the marble steps of a new day.
And live this life;
Cause you are here


Living this life - life - ‘cause things’ll never be the same
But there’s light in your eyes, despite your disguise
And somehow - there’s still meaning in pain.
