the lips of time they kiss again when i walk alone into the night they know my voice they know my name my need for love my fear of heights so i keep my wit my running game my shoulders straight and chin up high but it s all a lie it s all a lie and i forget how the time it flies when my fingers crossed i hope in vain that you ll be home with sleepy eyes to fix it all cause you know my pain and i forget how the time it flies when the day is long and it keeps me dry cause it s all a lie there s no perfect way to clear the mess we both a past in a silver frame see my heart it died a slow weary death in the tainted arms of another man but you and i we re no different than the rest of the world when the morning rings everyone wants a piece of the love of god and everyone sings everyone sings i know you can tell that i can t help myself but i can t help myself cause it s all a lie it s all a lie the lips of time they kiss again when i walk alone into the night they know my voice they know my name my need for love my fear of heights but see i m not different than the rest of the world when the morning rings i just want a piece of the love of god
