Oh, the life you lead   Leads you to distraction   Confusing your desires   With voluntary actions   And a hundred thousand destinations   The plans that you've forgotten   And the fruits of all your labor   Are slowly going rotten      And the blanket of the city   Will never keep you warm   And the pages of our history   Have treated you with warmth      Oh, the time we need   Is passing every day   You can blame it on    The words we never say      Oh, the world is love   Strings and chain reactions   Never-ending fires    Heartache and attractions      And the blanket of the city   Will never keep you warm   And the pages of our history   Have treated you with warmth      Oh, the time we need   Is passing every day   You can blame it on the    Words we never say
