Take me to your leader, or lead me to your taker
All I want to know is - how have you not noticed?
That time keeps passing you by - you need to find a new alibi
What have you got to show for this
This Life - life - 'cause things'll never be the same
But there's truth in your eyes, despite your disguise
And somehow - there's still meaning in pain
'And what are we doing here?' you whisper in your sleep
Shouldn't it be obvious?
'Cause it's happening now, if you're ready or not
But you won't find it at the bottom of a pint-glass
'Cause it's singing, it's singing the cosmos in a bus-stop
And living this life, life - 'cause things'll never be the same
But there's light in your eyes, despite your disguise
And somehow - there's still meaning in pain
And I'm not getting any younger and I am sorry for the taste
Of the sense of an ending that appears in the contours of my face
So kiss the morning sunrise on the marble steps of a new day
And live this life
Cause you are here
Living this life, life - 'cause things'll never be the same
But there's light in your eyes, despite your disguise
And somehow - there's still meaning in pain
