The Sun And The Moon - The Speed Of Life Songtexte
Stars
Soft whispers by a fire
Two lovers talking endlessly
The desires and hopes
Of adolescent innocence
I see it all
Yes I recall
Such pure and precious memories
Dreaming of the things
That never came to be
Oh how I wish that I could be
As content as the next boy
Downing his bitter
Discussing the snooker
I'm light years away
The speed of life in this place
I just feel light years away
Robotically I hear the words
All you see is all you are
Fodder for the factory
If you can find one
There's your destiny
In the ring-room
Is your destiny
In the ring-room
So
I watch the others grow
I must admire such confidence
Coping with the things
I always sing about
So secure
So very sure
Or is it just reflectory
Can they be as happy
As they seem to be
Oh how I wish that I could be
As content as the next girl
Surrounded by children
Rushing the ironing
I'm light years away
The speed of life in this place
I just feel light years away
Teacher's words return to me
All life's rules
Carved in stone
All you see is all you are
Fodder for society
Sadly
There's no sanctuary
In the tap-room
There's no sanctuary
In the pool-room
There's no sanctuary
In the bed-room
