The need to change your face Smile every day and hope to be looking best The need to know your place In this crowd of strangers And look apart from the rest
You move the way that the poor wind blows
And you're singing Your life away in this sleeping town You fade from these streets at night No name remembered Significance won't make it better
With skin but nothing flesh No definition Actions are meaningless They all stood up and left A well-known stranger All your close distant friends
Felt like a king but now you're feeling low You move the way that the poor wind blows
And you're singing Your life away in this sleeping town You fade from these streets at night No name remembered Significance won't make it better
The passionate compared to the weak It's easier just to not move your feet This one way fame won't fit for all The harder you try the more you'll fall
And you're singing Your life away in this sleeping town You fade from these streets at night No name remembered Significance won't make it better
(And we'll sing it loud another time) Your life away in this sleeping town (And we'll sing it loud another time) You fade from these streets at night (And we'll sing it loud another time) No name remembered Significance won't make it better
