Wet ground and the snow is still not falling

Circumstances are alarming, darling

The future is just a word, that's how I recall it

The past is much more present in our yawning



But I heard you right

Something was lost from the start

Oh babe, what should we do, what should we say?

Should we give it away?



The future looked so bright then

What happened tonight?

Now aeroplanes are crashing

Who turned out the light?

Seemingly it seems to me I'm subject to a joke

And it's not a test



Wet ground and the stars are still out shining

Neon lights were never oh, so blinding

Prosecute the ones who stand accused

Let the others go or leave them dying



But I heard you right

Everything was here before

We shouldn't add or put away a thing

Let nobody win



The future looked so bright then

What happened tonight?

Now aeroplanes are crashing

Who turned out the light?

Seemingly it seems to me I'm subject to a joke

And it's not a sin
