Suddenly you're born Cut from your mother's cord You get to dream with open eyes Then mother dies Cut from another side And you may do what you decide But it doesn't really matter if you ever want to try It doesn't really matter if you live or die It doesn't really matter if you touch the stars It doesn't really make a difference who you are Not so alone with kids at home But they flicker away and disappear Suddenly you're old You've got to go But before you do, you need to know That it doesn't really matter if you wasted all your time It doesn't really matter if you lived or died It doesn't really matter if you touched the stars It doesn't really make a difference who you are, yeah ♪ So it goes And you won't ever get to know If you were alive or dreaming ♪ It doesn't really matter if you're wasting all your time It doesn't really matter if you live or die It doesn't really matter if you touch the stars It doesn't really make a difference who you are
