There was music in the cafes at night;
And revolution in the air.
Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
I got a poison headache,;
But I feel all right
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,;
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
You could make me cry if you don't know.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
All the people we used to know;
Are an illusion to me now
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
Well, if I had to do it all over again,;
Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
