You'll never change what's been and gone
'Cause all of the stars are fading away
Try not to worry, you'll see them some day
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be

You're really here
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you
You know I didn't mean what I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now
'Cause little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of

The wheels of your life they're slowly falling off

Say it loud and sing it proud today
I'm not saying right is wrong, it's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
'Cause everything that's been has past, the answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
We'll dance if they wanna dance, please brother, take a chance
You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't
Know how it's gonna be, please brother, let it be
Life on the other hand won't make you understand
We're all part of the masterplan

I lost my faith in the summertime
'Cause it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said, "Son, words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
I guess I'm just lazy
But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life is my heart's not in it...

And when I leave this planet, you know I'd stay but I just can't stand it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit, I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
Half the world away, half the world away, half the world away
