When the whole world says they want you
But nobody says they need you
Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
Cosmonauts that lick the wounds and
Simple folk that slip to soon and
All of those goodbyes
Don't they make you cry?
Up above the natives howling
All that waving the drowning tonight
Long may the fragile reign
Opportunities are plenty
Pull the other one 'cause it's got bells on it
And all those old, old lies
Don't they make you cry?
In your best friend's troubled sleeping
But your memory's troubled keeping track
Of all those times
Don't they make you cry?
Up above the natives howling
All that waving the drowning tonight
Long may the fragile reign
Long may the fragile reign
Long may the fragile reign
Long may the fragile reign
Long may the fragile reign
