[Verse 1]
I felt my heart skip a beat
I could picture her and me
I thought it was destiny
Mournful me
Oh, I got a thorn in my side
It’s part of having your own mind
I used to say that with pride
I was blind
Yeah, I see the ants at my feet
We’re walking down the same dirty streets
Just trying to make ends meet
Them and me
Oh, I dreamt the world opened wide
I saw the universe by my side
I said, “You certainly took your time”
She didn’t reply, she just smiled
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I try not to let the world run me down
I like to keep my head in the clouds
I’m perfectly fine up there
Unaware
Down there, there’s no more rock and roll
They finished it a long time ago
Now it’s the ugliest place I know
What a joke (What a joke)
[Outro]
I see the faces go by, I see the people run by
All the hands on their hearts, all the thorns in their side
And just maybe, behind it all, somebody smiles
At the sight of my face with its eyes open wide
As I stand on the corner just wondering why
By a sign reading, “You’ll have the time of your life!”
By a sign reading, “You’ll have the time of your life!”
By a sign reading, “You’ll have the time of your life!”
And I think to myself
It’s a sign
