I lost my shoes I lost my wife
|
I lost my keys I lost my kite
|
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older
|
|
Subway eyes and banked up skies
|
And violent towns and frozen pies
|
And all them football crowds who lost are cold now
|
|
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
|
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine
|
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time
|
|
Suddenly I've realized
|
That I won't be here when I die
|
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting
|
|
Time and all it's precious wine
|
Is somehow primed to make us whine
|
And fret even then when we should be sleeping
|
|
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
|
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
|
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes
|
|
Empty cries and hollow toots
|
And all the signs that have no use
|
And fingers point accusingly are sinning
|
|
Humourless hypocrisy
|
And all the crimes we didn't see
|
The sigh that knows the devil might be winning
|
|
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
|
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
|
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine
|
|
And maybe it's the greatest test
|
A man's surrounded by his death
|
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey
|
|
That's how you make me feel
|
I love you more than death is real
|
It's sad but in the end it might be funny
|
|
That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
|
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
|
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
|
