Once upon a time I got a job in Mile End
Worked myself in the ground until I stopped smiling
It was just like in the song, nothing fancy
Once I even got followed by some teenagers down the street
Throwing stuff at me.
One, two, on the tip of your toes
Three, four, seven, ain't no way to Heaven
Eight, Nine, Ten, I didn't ask for them
But my ghost are real and they just keep a-following
Nobody will save you, you know
Nobody out there knows any better
Nobody will save you, you know
Nobody wants to go all the way down
See what's further than the line
I watch the wreck of my life like in the painting
In a way it's ok most days I'm alright
It's true I think I'm just waiting
Feels like noone is watching
Nothing new under the grey skies
Only when I close my eyes
Nothing new under the grey skies
Only when I close my eyes
Nobody will save you, you know
Nobody out there knows any better
Nobody will save you, you know
Nobody wants to go all the way down
See what's further than the line
One, two, on the tip of your toes
Three, four, seven, ain't no way to Heaven
Eight, Nine, Ten, I didn't ask for them
But my ghost are real and they just keep a-following
Nobody will save you, you know
Nobody out there knows any better
Nobody will save you, you know
Nobody wants to go all the way down
See what's further than the line
