I lost my shoes I lost my wife 

I lost my keys I lost my kite 

And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older 



Subway eyes and banked up skies 

And violent towns and frozen pies 

And all them football crowds who lost are cold now 



But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine 

Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time 



Suddenly I've realized 

That I won't be here when I die 

And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting 



Time and all it's precious wine 

Is somehow primed to make us whine 

And fret even then when we should be sleeping 



But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes 



Empty cries and hollow toots 

And all the signs that have no use 

And fingers point accusingly are sinning 



Humourless hypocrisy 

And all the crimes we didn't see 

The sigh that knows the devil might be winning 



But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine 



And maybe it's the greatest test 

A man's surrounded by his death 

But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey 



That's how you make me feel 

I love you more than death is real 

It's sad but in the end it might be funny 



That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
