Time moves in funny stages
Fluttering through the night air like moths
Glimpses of weary faces
Pale like flower, like chalk
Patience now, it's me again
Do you have a light for my cigarette?
I've been trying so hard 
To forget
Time picks the strangest wages
The more you earn, the more you owe
Your face, it barely ages
Just a line for every secret you know
Half the facts are all we've got
We ain't ready for the second half yet
And I have been trying so hard
To forget
I tell you this but don't repeat it
At least don't connect it to my name
I've never felt so defeated
Tell me this is all just a game
Ask now
Walk now
Well I see this is getting you upset
I've been trying so hard 
To forget
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
