lyrics

One life,
In trouble
In the bombed out city and I'm
up to my neck in trouble
and I don't understand
how it got to be such a mess
the feather falls from my hand
where it lands
is anyones guess

What a phase
what a maze
what a crazy, crazy time
that we live in
While we try to survive
no one gets out alive
that's the only given

In the dark
I wake up starving
like a knife that can slice through my heart
and it just keeps carving

I had always thought
I could stay in the game
I rode my wings to the sun
just to come down in flames

What a line
what a crime
what a lie to define
the way we're living.
What a strange state of mind to decline
what's freely given.

What a strange state of mind to decline
what's freely given

oh it's freely given
and it's your's and it's mine
and it doesn't belong
It's just one Eden

What a line
what a crime
what a lie to define
the way we're living.

While we try to survive
no one gets out alive
that's the only given.
