No sign of life   pulsing through these ageing veins   I bet at your age   that's easier for you to say   forcing answers into questions   and worrying that you might stop breathing      on and on we sift   through alphabets of life   that never get us anywhere anyway   I'd like you to feel we have the best intentions   I want you to know   that I know it's not easy      I want you to know   that I know it's not easy   easy, easy      Then there's a peak you reach   out to somebody   that's never even there   somebody that you may hope   that they might care   from nearby health   or distant welfare   I'm pleased to hear    that you're warm cos I'm freezing      Yeah, I'm freezing   Cool      I don't wanna be alone   is that out of the question   I'd like a happy home   is that too obvious   quit being pushed around   stand on my feet   and kick all these losers   out of my street      I've been losing confidence   in the heat   just when I'm feeling the strength   I get weak   I've been losing confidence   in the heat   just when I'm feeling the strength   I get weak      Then there's a peak you reach   out to somebody   a peak you reach   that's never even there   a peak you reach   I'd like you to feel we've   reached our peak      A peak you reach
