Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes Looking for a part of me that's still alive Waiting for my chest to fall and rise
Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in Summer turns to autumn winter turns to spring And it all flies by Like a speeding train
Dead wishes on a broken chain White roses in a dead man's dream Down and out With everything to lose If these long dead wishes Never do come true
Waiting for the night to come and chase away All the flies hovering around my head With my memories for a pillow And all my regrets for a bed
Standing on the corner now I'm passed surprise Yelling out a warning to some passer by I stand just as God made me And I lie down in disguise
Dead wishes on a burning lake White roses for my soul to keep Diving down with everything to win If my long since sunken ship Ever does come in
Down and down we all fall down And that's how ancient mountains crumble
Time keeps moving slower Like falling from the sun Come and knock me over I keep getting up Throw a line down to me Keep hanging on
Standing on the corner don't apologize You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes Or pretend that you don't see me
Dead wishes on a broken chain White roses in a dead man's dream Down and out With everything to lose If these long dead wishes These long dead wishes Ever do come true
Down and down we all fall down And that's how ancient mountains crumble
