Our lives are cheap and small in this rusty world of ours One day you walk through brambles, next day you reach the stars Then you find your fellow-traveler to stray of the way Born in hell to be a prisoner and see the light one day
I’m so tired of second chances and those who want me down If I become the king, they’ll take away my crown All I want is to find the place where no one needs to hide Where I’ll see my sweetheart happy, settled down by my side
Chorus: And what are you searching for in the heart of the night? It's so hard to see the things beyond your sight These things are always better not to be seen Let those things only be part of your dreams In real life, let them stay unseen
Long ago before the time, before life existed When there only was nothingness, few things were enlisted But Almighty spilled the ink and lost his sacred feather, Made impossible for him to make our scant lives better
I remember many pints of finest Guinness beer You drink it when you’re happy, you drink it when you fear And the old man often used to speak of life as a hat You never know the rabbit’s color, is it green, white or black
I will gladly cross the ocean, but I fear to step on a plane On a ship I’ll get the measles and that’s pretty same Then I’ll take the road to God knows by bus or a train And watch little kids through window, running down a plain.
