it's a beautiful prison

the one that we live in

and the ghost of the man that you knew

is already moving on

into the light

into that cold dark night

in the dimming sight of my failing eyes

i'm already gone

what a world what a world

what a world just there to steal

i'm not quite convinced it's real

what a world what a world

what a world just there to see

oh the world laid at my feet

what a world what a world

what a world just there to steal

as the blood seeps into the seal

hold on

it's a beautiful moment

that we've lost all hope in

you're still looking back

through rose tinted glass

at a past that's gone

into the night

street lamps passing by

in the dimming light of the city skyline

i'm already gone

what a world what a world

what a world just there to steal

i'm not quite convinced it's real

what a world what a world

what a world just there to seize

all the world laid at my feet

what a world what a world

what a world just there to steal

as the blood seeps into the seal

down

down down down
