Dangerous and desperate and young Fixing your eyes on the distant horizon and waiting for dawn For the sun to shine on Something so pure and so bright You caught it in glimpses but never could catch it, the harder you try It's still passing you by But the farther and farther you crawl, bringing it home don't make no sense at all Seeking your way from the lines lying under the snowfall Weary but carrying on Don't you march to the beat of a heart that's been beating too hard for too long Too hard for too long Green and yet some kind of blue You once were the watcher, but now it's so clear they're all looking at you And they're staring right through But the faces grow dim with the lights And all the old melodies holding you tight As they all steal away like a thief in the night, ain't it shameful Lost in the cosmos again, deeper and deeper in what could have been, As the fits and the starts they go spinning around in your brain You just should have listened to me, all that there is now is all there can be Lighting your way and fighting away the pain
