Spectacular Failures

Life is but a dream in a greater scheme, waking up is hard to do

Even if you're quick, something holds you back, always waiting in a queue for someone

To tell you you're broke, or you should not smoke anymore cigarettes

Planets will align, if you give them time

When you least expect, everything connects, even when the hope is gone there is you

And you'll keep your name, and the things in your brain just might see you through

'Cos you are light, and in darkest night you shine

And I guess we're doing fine, but there's no escaping our spectacular failure

Digging in between things we've never seen, trying to find the missing links

All these scientists are trying every trick just before the city sinks without trace

So much we've achieved, so I hope when we leave there's a smile on our face

'Cos you are light, and in darkest night you shine

And I guess we're doing fine, but there's no escaping our spectacular failure
