It's a beautiful prison
The one that we live in
And the ghost of the man that you knew
Is already moving on
Into the light
Into that cold dark night
In the dimming sight of my failing eyes
I'm already gone
What a world, what a world
What a world just there to steal
I'm not quite convinced it's real
What a world, what a world
What a world just there to seize
All the world laid at my feet
What a world, what a world
What a world just there to steal
As the blood seeps into the seal
It's a beautiful moment
That we've lost all hope in
You're still looking back through rose tinted glass
At a past that's gone
Into the night
Streetlamps passing by
In the dimming light of the city skyline
I'm already gone
