lyrics

A second chance, we will not get a second chance,
these should be.the beautiful years, then why are they so full of tears?
And where's the beauty here?
All I see is anger and fault.
All i live on is dillusion and suspending my belief and what I'm seeing and reading and duly injecting
But I can take all of this I can take all this for you just for life in your eyes and for love on your face
And I stake my claim on 40years of prayer and I stake my claim on 40years of curses and for all these years bewildered
And we are the lucky ones, I'm told there are no reason for my tears, for no one has actually died here and you knew a man who knew a man
And we are the lucky ones, the numbers are on our side and therefore the case is closed you shall not merit a second thought
And you've been every which where and you are ever so happy to share and boast and never ask just what exactly is going on
And you saw us once we looked ok from 30yds so you need not ever ask just what exactly is going on
And I dreamt of the old lady who lived here long ago and she told me that the timing was not right and
Not to worry, for she'd lives through far far worse and everything would be all right
