lyrics

Say, what's that, you're coming to stay?
Well this is the New World and there's always a place for you.
But wait, what's that, you're planning to stay?
Well just burn your bridges and we'll give you a new name.
"Work, guns and fools, money and games"
That can be your title and you know the art can wait.
But stop, hold on, are you running away?
Well there's nothing left for me, I'd say I was falling.

You say your little heart won't break, but you know the cracks are showing.
You say your little heart can take it, but the fangs of the world are growing day by day.
Any decent fuck might solve it, with a sweet sweet smile and a shit load of free time.
But that's the way it's been for years, and the motto's growing a little tired.
It's like a train coming, the light straight in your face.
I don't know when the rails will turn,
But you'll know at least you tried
To keep your head high.

Right, here's my plan: I'm going insane.
Write another letter to the Universe and I'll say:
I can't believe that life is a game
There's too much love and hatred just to laugh it all away.
But power, war and words, the sex and the shame,
We're toys of infinity that happen to feel pain.
In this new place, again and the same, but you know, hell, thats life.
You gotta take it or leave it.

I looked to a world away and I wished for better days.
But I'm still standing in line for love, for life to take my breath away.
And I know it'll happen: I'll stop breathing one day.
I only hope, that at that time, there'll be a smile on my face.
