As you stumble into the future Remorselessly moving out of the past And you separate the reflex moments of living You drag down the morning into your room
You can sing with your partner You can sing by yourself You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing with the vampires You can sing with the beast You can sing that everything takes forever
As you sit at the table you make small decisions You lie in your bed and you laugh at the dark You ask yourself a hundred dumb questions And you answer yourself with a hundred dumb lies
(chorus)
And then tomorrow wake up with a stranger You drag down the morning into your room
(chorus) You can sing in the twilight You can sing in the morning You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing in the orchards You can sing by the streams You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing under stars You can sing in the graveyard You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing in your sunglasses You can sing by the moon You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing with accordions You can sing with violins You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing with the knifethrowers You can sing with the freaks You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing in the avenues You can sing under starlight You can sing that everything takes forever You can sing with the last ones You can sing with the children You can sing that everything takes forever
