Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly go the days

Sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress

It always is the same

The sunrise and a sun sets

You are lying while you confess

Keep trying to explain

The sunrise and the sun sets

You realize and then you forget

What you have been trying to retain

But everybody knows it's all about the things

That get stuck inside of your head

Like the songs your roommate sings

Or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed

She raises her hands in the air

Asks you "When was the last time you looked in the mirror?

Cause you've changed, yeah, you've changed"

The sunrise, the sunset, you're hopeful and then you regret

The circle never breaks

With a sunrise and sunset, there's a change of heart or address

Is there nothing that remains?

For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you're depressed

Will you ever feel ok?

For a sunrise or a sunset, your lover is an actress

Did you really think she'd stay?

For a sunrise or a sunset, you're either coming or you justleft

But you're always on the way

Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet

They are really just the same

To the sunrise or the sunset, the master and his servant

Have exactly the same fate

It's a sunrise and a sunset, from a cradle to a casket

There is no way to escape

The sunrise or the sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet

Keep putting on the play

But everything you do is leading to the point

Where you just won't know what to do

And the moment that you're laughing

There is someone there who will be laughing louder than you

So it's true, the trick is complete

You've become everything you said you never would be

You're a fool, you're a fool

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset

The sunrise and the sun sets

Sunrise, sunset, the sunrise, the sun sets

The sunrise, the sun sets

Sunrise, sunset, go home to your apartment

Put the cassette in the tape

Deck and let that fever play

Sunrise, sunset, where are you, Arienette?

Where are you, Arienette?
