Vers 1 A little kid crawls onto his daddy’s knee (The little kid wants some candy), A homeless guy collects bottles from the trash (The homeless guy doesn’t beg for cash), A posh couple tries to look fond (The couple are two, but still alone). ⸻ Vers 2 We crawl for candy, We pick through the trash, We pretend we are happy, We all say, (That’s just life). ⸻ Vers 3 A big fat lady falls on her big jolly face (Some young punks laugh, she puts them in their place), An angry man screams at his imaginary horse (Some angry men are way off course), A gorgeous lady runs with a funny vibe (I wonder if the lady is lonely tonight). ⸻ Vers 4 So the park is alive, And you come here at five, Every day you pass by. I hope one day we walk side by side— Pretending to be happy. Or maybe you could love me like Clyde’s Bonnie, Maybe you can see me, Maybe it’s meant not to be. It’s bitter, it’s sweet, It’s one of life’s mysteries. It’s cold, it’s dark, It’s what breaks lonely hearts. ⸻ Mellomspill / Bro We all just float on a dream, Waiting for the dream to wake us up. We all fall into the trap of high hopes, Most don’t reach their goals. But we keep on falling, We keep on failing— Not much in life is easy sailing. ⸻ Vers 5 Some find peace in God, Some crawl through life’s mud. Some people don’t want to understand, Some people killed a man. Some people try to heal the land, Some people play in a rock ’n’ roll band. ⸻ Outro It’s bitter, it’s sweet, It’s one of life’s mysteries. It’s cold, it’s dark, It’s what breaks lonely hearts. Some people love life, Some people pay the price. Some people pop pills, Some people can’t pay the bills. Some people sit on a bench in the park, Some people pass by in a car— We're Close, but far .
