Because a cynic told me

The best is yet to come

The day we all die on our backs

Out in the sun

And now the dawn time shadows haunt my every thought

I've been lost in blind drunk photo phobia

I've been searching so long

Then an anylyst said,

"Why fret finality?"

Cos, looking up,

Ain't nothing looking down on me

And if the man upstairs

Don't care what's going on

Then we can find out for ourselves

What's right and wrong

I've been searching so long

I'm coming around

I'm coming around

I'm coming around

I'm coming around

I'm coming around

I've been searching so long

I've been searching so long

Cos we can do it for ourselves [la la la]

We can do it for ourselves [la la la]

We can do it for ourselves [la la la]

I've been searching so long

I've been searching so long

I've been searching so long
