I just want to watch the paradise I just want to see that clear, clear light Don't want to be a member of a species that's deceasing Keep on making those promises that they aren't keeping
I can't go on like this I can't go on like this
Oh, I was a talking to the people next door They said don't want to die in a nuclear war Now we went walking down the old north road We got a common cause we got a heavy, heavy load
Because we can't go on no no living like this We can't go on
Watching pictures of the world Watching pictures as they pass me by Don't stop at that light, don't go out at night Watching pictures of the world Watching pictures as they pass me by My artificial heart, expensive spare parts
I've been a sailor on the sea, I've been a flier in the air I've seen a whole lot of bleeding hearts out there They don't talk so much I tell you they still care Yes they do, yes they do
They can't go on living like this they can't go on They can't go on
They're watching pictures of the world They're watching pictures as they pass me by Don't sit around in silence you don't need a license Watching pictures of the world Watching pictures as they pass me by It's moving in a hurry there's no need to worry
We're really going to change it the critical mass approaches I can almost hear it
