i am sad alright   but what a waste of time   i held you much too close   and now there`s something missing   but i can`t see the empty space   something else has taken place   i am sad alright   but what a waste of tears   i held you much too close   and now there`s someone missing   she is gone without a trace   just the expression on her face:   what a waste   there`s a flame and a fire and a body burning up   and a bird on a shape made of steel ohoh   he keeps on singing      it`s not exactly what you think   not exactly what you see   not exactly what you`ve learned   and what you will be learning      i am sad alright   but what a waste of breath   i`m only talking to relieve   although there`s noone listening   he is gone without a trace   just the expression on his face:   who`s to blame?   there`s a flame and a fire and a body burning up   and a bird on a shape made of steel, ohoh   he keeps on singing      it`s not exactly what you think   not exactly what you see   not exactly what you`ve learned   and what you will be learning
