I spent my summer by the sea
To look for what I lost, oh
Once I had a dream or two
But I sold them at a cost
Often I would wonder why
We try so hard to stay alive
When nothing ever seems to satisfy

My best friend was a homeless man
With a beard to hide his face
Secretly I loved him so
But he was twice my age
We talked and we would sing all day
Collecting sorrows to throw away
But nothing ever seemed to cease the pain

I worked by day and by night I drank
I danced until my mind went blank
And when the morning came to me
I'd only ever do the same
Everybody said to me
They knew what would set me free
But no one has the answers, oh
No one has any answers at all

The sky was blue and the sun was out
Whilst I hid from the world
After skewing through the window panes
And all my toes would curl, oh
I wanted nothing more
Than to understand what we're living for
When all we do is damn what we start

People put their faith in God
They don't think, they just nod their heads
'Cause they just wanna know
When they die, where they're gonna go
Everybody said to me
"Maybe it would set you free"
But no one has the answers, oh
No one has any answers at all
No one has any answers at all
No one has any answers at all
No one has any answers at all
