Lyrics

The lights are too bright
The love is never enough
The food is too salty
The passion is just lust
It fades with the morning and
Anguish and fear shades the night
A nameless frustration
Something ain't right
The pain is persistent
The soft skin just gets tougher

Oh, life is so long for those who suffer

The water’s too cold
The sun only blinds
And all you believe in fades behind
The closing windows of time
The birds are indifferent
Their songs lose their luster

Oh, life is so long for those who suffer

And still we believe out of
Some childish need
That love will save us
We hear it through the storm
Still the food tends to grow cold
When there’s no one to be late for supper

This life is so long for those who suffer
Oh, life is so long for those who suffer

The needy always needing
The greedy always greeding
The world keeps turning
Our souls keep burning
From Brooklyn to Bedlam
But still we must believe
