nothing's new   and it'll never be   disbelief follows   uncertainty   and this band plays on   and somehow   life goes on   as it's built up   it begins to fade   this city's stale   and has nothing   to offer me   night after night   forget how many days   my love picked up   moved across the sea   i've watched them   grow old   and it's beginning   to change   they'll take   so many secrets   to the grave   a life of paupers   gave me   the life of a king   the death and the dying   she spread her wings
