You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play... Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal You've got to believe in nothing There's an awful lot out there There's an awful lot in make up Some in every perfect hair You know I lose a lot of sleep Wondering if nothing would ever desert us But I know they don't know nothing And what they don't know can't hurt us I want to tell you This guy wants to charge you a nickel I want to tell you This guy wants to charge you a dime I want to tell you I'm 'o' charge you a five dollar bill And show you a real fine time Real fine time There's a candy coated iguana Behind curtain number one And a sixteen dollar bill For every pregnant flying nun They got a soda-pop that'll save the wold It's a tonic and an elixir It's a get-you-laid Better-paid Guaranteed all-round life-fixer I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a twenty I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a ten I want to tell you This guy knows you already did it But he wants you to do it again Do it again You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play, they say Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal I want to tell you Some say life is a blessing I want to tell you Some say life is a curse I want to tell you Some say life is a play But you get no time to rehearse And you got to believe in something Cause it's a lonely universe You got to believe in something

You've been in my dreams Right there in the seams In the nooks, in the fabric And where the day leaves There's so much I'd like To share with you Share my arms Share my time Share almost anything that's mine Except my fear of losing you Ooh We could fly to New York I could show you that place Cut shapes from the winter's Most delicate lace Lay down into Among crystals of snow But this is real life Don't you know? We could fly to New York I could show you that place Cut shapes from the winter's Most delicate lace Lay down into Among crystals of snow But this is real life Don't you know? You're part of me now Known me somehow Since birth Since I fell down Since you gave me my crown It's too much to bear Too much love there Full of wonder I will be free again, see almost all of me But not my fear of losing you, oh We could fly to New York I could show you that place Cut shapes from the winter's Most delicate lace Lay down into Among crystals of snow But this is real life Don't you know? We could fly to New York I could show you that place Cut shapes from the winter's Most delicate lace Lay down into Among crystals of snow But this is real life Don't you know?

In the stillness of an empty room In the face of every settled moon In everything that comes apart You rise and fall in my heart In the morning's invitation In impromptu celebrations In every mainstay On every holiday In every single doorway there's you There's you There's only you There's only you Always you There's you There's only you There's only you Always you There's you There's only you There's only you Always you There's you There's only you There's only you Always you
