lyrics

Fortunes fade and lovers fight as every dream we have is doomed to die, my my
The story never seems to change all the players just rearrange, my my
There is no heaven nor is there a hell
We play the roles of demons, we are all angels

Bombs are planted on the plane the newsman calls the world insane my my
Evil pirates still the patrol the seas even in the twenty first century my my
There is no heaven nor is there a hell
We play the roles of demons, we are all angels
What are we supposed to do, is it really up to me and you I thought that we were all friends
What are we supposed to say today ain’t like yesterday I thought that the world made amends
We’re like a boy who’s standing out in the pouring rain
Tossing pebbles at the window of a long extinguished flame
And he knows that he’s done all that he can
After all he’s just an ordinary man
What are we supposed to do, is it really up to me and you I thought that we were all friends
What are we supposed to say today ain’t like yesterday I thought that the world made amends
