It's a Sign

[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
