They say
They say you can weep but none will dry your eyes
They say you can scream but none will hear your sighs
They say you can bow your head but none will hear you pray
They say you can age a lifetime in a day
They say “please, a penny for your thoughts”
A crime of passion that ultimately came to naught
A world of colour clumsily painted over in grey
They say you can age a lifetime in a day
They say you must fight with tooth and with nail
Some’s going to the hospital, some to Jail
Lower your sights, and lower your head
They say you’ll pay for that price on your head
They say you are playing with fire
Dancing to the tune on a high wire
You’ll fall from grace come what may
They say you can age a lifetime in a day
They say you can scream but none will hear your sighs
They say you can bow your head but none will hear you pray
They say you can age a lifetime in a day
They say “please, a penny for your thoughts”
A crime of passion that ultimately came to naught
A world of colour clumsily painted over in grey
They say you can age a lifetime in a day
They say you must fight with tooth and with nail
Some’s going to the hospital, some to Jail
Lower your sights, and lower your head
They say you’ll pay for that price on your head
They say you are playing with fire
Dancing to the tune on a high wire
You’ll fall from grace come what may
They say you can age a lifetime in a day
