When time comes alive to open up your eyes,
will you look inside your head and cry?
Into a land with open-hearted hands,
but what he's done inside his head is gone.

Finds a job under the table, puts his bread under his bed.
Ignores the sign under the bridge and puts his children there...

As you lose who you are
and hold it in your body, but life
(life as we know it)
is holding on and is acceptable.

When time comes alive to open up your eyes,
will you look inside your head and cry?
Into a land with open-hearted hands,
but what he's done inside his head is gone.

By all means: spilling the beans on secret lives and shattered dreams.
Tell your god no-one is home and put your conscience there...

As you lose who you are
and hold it in your body, but life
(life as we know it)
is holding on and is acceptable

But you care for the Tricky Boy Wonder
and hold him in your body, but life
(life as we know it)
is holding on and is excellent!
