lyrics

Everybody wants a piece of some easy enterprise
Cameras will catch your face and carry the news
That you've got a gift to be giving
Cut it out, cut your loss, we don't dream we fantasize
And this is how we measure the cost, the joy and the pain
Of twenty one years of good living

When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
This place is like a womb you, live so well from doing nothing
One day you will learn there is some beauty
In the thing that makes you sweat

God it takes something great just to get me out of bed
And I woke up with a song 'cause I had a dream, yes
I had a vision of people lying in the sun
Sleeping on the rocks and stones
Waiting just to die
They were just fast asleep like lions
They were just fast asleep like lions in summer

When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
This place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
One day you will learn there is some beauty
In the thing that makes you

Sweat all the years of wasted time
Half divine, half what you could be
Oh, all this time they let this city
Get sad and empty
'Cause they're only half awake
Oh, all this time they let this city
Get sad and empty
'Cause they're only half awake

When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
One day you will learn there is some beauty
In the thing that makes you sweat
