I didn't see the fire burn to ashes I couldn't feel the winds of change I was lost inside the passion, Blinded by the memory of a flame I guess I should've felt it when you touched me I should've seen it in your eyes But I believed you really loved me . Why can't I believe you've said goodbye Oh why is the last one to know The first one to cry and the Last to let go Why is the one left behind The one left alone with no one to hold The last one to know It would be easier to face the morning, If you were holding me tonight But you left me without a warning Holding onto a heartache while she's Holding you tight Oh why is the last one to know The first one to cry and the Last to let go Why is the one left behind The one left alone with no one to hold The last one to know

Everybody in the funhouse Says they want out But we're taking our time 'Cause we're in love with time Whole generations thinkin' of themselves As infidels and pop stars While the bomb loses patience We line up and just lean against the bar Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love Caught in the headlights Wide-eyed and ready to receive We are the dead life Locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief And these dark days Makes the nights seem brighter than they are So, while Fleet Street rolls and the moon glows In the funhouse, the fun starts Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love, love Love We are the dead life, we are the dead life So come on, come on Born in the half-light of threats and bribes In a hopeless porn parade We get the dog's life, tidbits train us What to wear, what not to say When you're footloose and you just feel limbless Life gets in the way So, we get loaded or totally legless But stay the same Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love, love (We're stone cold) stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking, looking So come on, come on (Come on, come on) (Come on, come on) We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life

Find something to do Something worth playing I'm just passing through Don't think I'll be staying 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like teardrop's dried I'll be gone in a second Right out of the blue Just as you're waking I'll be there to give you A little shoulder shaking But I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like a fleck in your eye It'll be gone in a second A second of love, a second of life A second remembering it right Watching a soul slip out of sight Into the glitter of the night In a second Find something to do Before I wander Into your mind Like a roll of thunder 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like a flash of light It'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second (I'll be there for you) 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I'll be gone in a second
