WE’VE ALL SAT ON A KNIFES EDGE,
WE’VE ALL LOOKED DOWN THE OTHER SIDE,
‘COS WE’VE ALL BEEN TEMPTED,
TO SNUFF OUT THE LIGHT.
IT’S NOT THAT UNUSUAL, NO,
IT’S JUST WHAT YOU WILL FIND,
THAT WE’VE ALL BEEN DRIVEN AT SOME POINT,
HALFWAY OUT OF OUR MINDS, YEAH!
THE OCEAN LOOKS ENTICING,
THIS DEEP SEA DOUBLE BED,
SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT PLACE TO REST MY HEAD,
SUCK ON MY VERY LAST BREATH.
IT’S NOT THAT UNUSUAL, NO,
IT’S JUST WHAT YOU WILL FIND,
THAT WE’VE ALL BEEN DRIVEN AT SOME POINT,
HALFWAY OUT OF OUR MINDS, YEAH!
I’LL NEVER LET ANOTHER DAY GO,
WITHOUT FALLING IN LOVE WITH IT,
I’LL NEVER LET ANOTHER DAY GO BY,
‘COS A WASTE OF TIME IS A WASTED LIFE,
AND I DON’T WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS,
HANGING ONTO EVERY MOMENT THAT SLIPS HIM BY.
CHORUS: (X2)
THESE DAYS DISINTERGRATE,
THEY FOLD UP AND FADE AWAY,
THESE DAYS, DON’T HESITATE,
TO PICK UP AND RUN WITH IT,
THESE DAYS, DON’T COMPLICATE IT,
IT’S A TREASURE WORTH SAVING,
IT’S A TREASURE WORTH SAVING,
THESE DAYS.
Lyrics: R. Eliot
