All the things you think and say    Float away into space    Done in thought or done in haste    They have no place, they leave no trace       All the things you think and do    Have become a part of you    All your deeds have come to pass    Nothing lasts, nothing lasts       Like a river flowing past your windowpane    Life's never the same    Like the sun you're born to set    You'll die in sin    And be born once again       Now you know, so damn well    That your life is a heaven and a hell    And it's very easy to tell    When you're sick and when you're well       So the secret to this life    Is so very easy to learn    If you ever love another    Never ask for anything in return       Like a river flowing past your windowpane    Life's never the same    Like the sun you're born to set    You'll die in sin    And be born once again       All the things you think and say    Float away into space    Done in thought or done in haste    They have no place, they leave no trace       All the things you think and do    Have become a part of you    All your deeds have come to pass    Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
