And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal Here's a song for a world that can't feel She was once a good friend of mine we would gather up stones and we'd laugh all the time She'd paint pictures and maps of the stars and her eyes would fill up the night She was once a lover of mine we would sit in her garden drink all her wine Blow out candles then talk about god in the dark Then we'd sleep in the yard And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal Here's a song for a world that can't feel Winter came and it carried no torch it just fogged up the windows and stood on the porch The flower she planted is hiding its face as it bends and dies in the wind And the lantern lit up our room as we drew all the tarots and cast all the runes then she'd take down her hair and she'd lay in my arms because that's where she belonged And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal Here's a song for a world that can't feel She was once a soul mate of mine until she packed up her clothing her books and her wine Wrote me a note that said "Oh, honey don't cry, but I can't say goodbye" And the sun went down early that day as the stars came out twinkling like demons at play and tears fill my eyes when I think of the words you can't say ...why did you go away?" And the reason we laugh is for one day we'll cry Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die And the reason we give is for one day we'll steal Here's a song for a world that can't feel

Dear god I said I'm sorry but you know you really hurt me I was only trying to hold you to give warmth not to control you No I didn't mean to scare you I was only trying to tell you that we're near the final chapter of our days of love and laughter It's the end goodbye my fair weather friend It's the end. In the sunlight you are with me through the starlight to tomorrow when the rain comes I can't find you I'm beneath the clouds forgotten. And the world is getting older and our eyes are growing weary and our final words are spoken and the hourglass is empty No more angle songs to call you no more poems to exalt you I don't want to be remembered burn my poetry and letters It's the end, goodbye my fair weather friend It's the end. And at last the world seduced you yes it stole you from my slumber Now you're going with those people who just want to pull you under It's the end goodbye my fair weather friend It's the end I've been walking down the back streets I've been crying in the shadows I've been hiding in my diary but this is my final chapter Dear god I said I'm sorry but you know you really hurt me I was only trying to hold you to give warmth not to control you... it's the end

I was raised on Jesus Christ and I was told how he gave up his life As a child, I would pray at night and I would swear, I felt protected by his holy light I believed in his holy book though I confess I never much gave it a look but I was told of the glorious stories within filled me full of hope, kept me safe in a world full of sin And I believed that this was the end of the world Yes I believed that this was the end of the world I was born 1965, in the united states the land of the immaculate lie and I have grown, to realize all that I looked forward to, wasn’t real it was false, it was part of the lie Like Santa Claus, Superman Sacred Cross, Holy Lamb Satan and Peter Pan The soul of the dying man Cops and Cathedrals TV’s & Angels Serpents that speak and the garden of Eden Church and society Alcohol, LSD Movie stars, Athletes Politics and Charities Your preacher and confessor is a child molester and they fall to his feet but he won’t turn the other cheek and we were born with a crown of thorns and nails through our hands and our feet as the earth consumes without empathy the bodies of all who believe Jesus Christ, tell me please we’ve only got one thing to pray Why give a life to human being if you're just going to take it away I was raised on Jesus Christ and I was told it was he who had given me life But the truth be known, I was an accident It wasn’t love or affection or immaculate conception It was a beast with an erection and a woman who bled on the sheets and I realize, there’s one thing that’s waiting on me It isn’t heaven or hell, It’s just a box and a veil and a man in a suit that tells lies as I’m lowered in the ground ... is this the end of the world? ... Is this the end of the world?
