starin´ out the window
from an unmade bed
i got no reason to live
no reason to be dead
those unnamed blues are with me today
i got no reason to leave
no reason to stay
sun in the night, dark in the day
in a january thaw, frosted in may
searching for salvation
in a stranger´s eyes
the sooner i sink,
the sooner i´ll rise
so honey, don´t you try to analyze it
just tell me why´s it that
babies are born happy
though sometimes they´ve got to cry
babies got that sweet contentment
so why is it that you and i
get no relief?
got no belief?
steal like a thief through our days
feeling lost and alone
when baby we were born happy
where´d we lose that
sweet contentment?
flyin´ to an island
on a silver plane
but we just
can´t escape
the growin´ pains
´cause the ghost
and the smoke
of a nightmare past
will be chasing us
down twice as fast
so honey don´t it
hurt to realize it?
we can´t disguise it
