Siren is bending, the radio humming,
|
Sun is breaking through and the storm is coming
|
The score is obscure, the melody fractured
|
It went by my window
|
Refused to be captured
|
|
I hope that I wake up in time
|
|
Good King Neptune came flipping up my street
|
He was a sad case tripping up the staircase
|
Friends and relations are laughing at my head
|
Gathered like crows at the end of my bed
|
|
I hope that I wake up in time
|
|
If you can't or can't quite
|
Think again
|
You can't fight
|
That you might
|
Not be smite
|
If it's wrong, it's not right
|
I say it once and I'll say it again
|
Now and forever and ever, amen
|
|
Siren is bending, the radio is humming,
|
Who do you love now and who are you damning?
|
The score is obscure and the melody fractured
|
The bird by my window refused to be captured
|
|
I hope I wake up in time
|
|
If you can or can't quite
|
Think again
|
You can't fight
|
That you might
|
Not be smite
|
If it's wrong, it's not right
|
I'll say it once and I'll say it again
|
Life is a beautiful thing
|
|
I've said it before
|
I can't say it much more
|
Life is a beautiful thing
|
