Comedy Of Errors - The Student Prince lyrics

Holding court as knights of old, we speak with tongues of wine, Playing games with conversation, finding truth because it rhymes. Each and every one of us, we raise our gla** But we know damn well we're safe, Firing from out of range we're safe, With every piece of sh** you eat, you get used to it You digest it well, why not? We have become all that we hate. With every drink we free ourselves, as we leave our fears behind, Seeking constant rea**urance, we hide a poisoned mind. And who do you confide in, when the lights go out at night? Do you touch yourself for comfort, or say you prayers? Is the rain against your window, like the tears against your cheek? Are you a poet writing love letters by torchlight... A poet writing love letters by torchlight... As a last resort he ventures, into the darkness of the night club A Student Prince without much hope, a lost soul in his search In a trance his roving eye surveys, his alien surroundings A stranger in a crowd of friends, the noise offends his ear Is this the way it's meant to be? But as eye meets eye he knows he's found, a sister of his suffering Hearing pins drop, as the music plays it's cannon fire Seeking consolation, they move towards each other They bathe in pools of knowing and togetherness, Is this the way it's meant to be?.....Is this the way it's meant to be? So you turned your back and you walked out on me, And the dream I created was laughing at me, Were the tears that you shed just for circumstances? Did you always love me, but could not take the chance? Take the chance. When will I see you again? Will I ever see you again? Each and every one of us, we raise our gla** 'Cause we know damn well we're safe, Firing from out of range we're safe, With every piece of sh** you eat, you get used to it You digest it well, why not? We have become all that we hate. Let's have your gla**es, it's time to leave another Saturday, Get your carry out Chinese consolation prize, So you had a good time and you had a good laugh Just like the week before, So why is the sadness still upon your eyes? And what are you trying to say with your life? Who is it you impress? One day will be now tomorrow, so we can't just rehearse I can't see how the world will know you, and who would want to? When you don't try. Reaching out I hit the bottle, and so to bed..... Reaching out I let the drink talk, and so to bed....... Tired, confused and thoughts that err, you put on a favourite song, And kid yourself like an actor, (that) it holds a special meaning, And lying back in a haze of comfort, you try to work things out, But thoughts so deep for events so small, make a mockery of your life. And as the music sounds your dreams, you ponder on your life, And merciful sleep will erase your doubts, your suffering and your strife, A new day comes dressed in hangover, last night's dreams are gone forever, Forever, 'till the next time, you sell your life for pity. What would you feel now if you looked inside your heart? Do you fear the things you hide that tear your soul apart? Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm not, But here's to the one I have never forgotten, Selling his soul for a song And here's to the boy, I was once long ago, Reflected in silence, I feel for him so, But nothing can help him now. Losing my way, I decided to follow, The path led astray, Down the hill I go, I'm out of control, Trying to make up the time. Falling, falling Running so hard just to, Keep on, keep on standing still. My feet's in the gutter, but I look to the stars, The thing which I seek isn't money or cars, But I wish I could stop, oh I wish I could stop, I wish I could rest for a while. And where is the one who put light in my eyes, Gave me the longing the love and the fire, What I was given was taken away, A brief glimpse of heaven as time slips away and away. Our life goes round, I can see in your eyes that you know, Our life goes round, and we do it again So here's to the boy that I was once before, Could that be me, I can't tell anymore? And here is the pay off, the joy and the pain, Come round full circle, we do it again and again. Our life goes round, I can see in your eyes that you know, Our life goes round, and we do it again. Our life goes round, I can see in your eyes that you know, Our life goes round, and we do it again. Our life goes round, I can see in your eyes that you know, Our life goes round, and we do it again. And where is my father, my friend and my foe, I need him to be here, I need him to know, He gave me his love, yet I gave up the game, And his disappointment was always, always my shame. Our life goes round, I can see in your eyes that you know, Our life goes round, and we do it again and again. See the Green Light, seems so close and yet so far away, Full of wonder, how could he have known, it'd be this way. And how could he have known that it was already behind him then, Somewhere in the vastness of that deep dark obscurity, As dark horizons rolled into the night. And time recedes before us, eluding us, no matter, For tomorrow we'll run faster, stretch our arms out farther, Ceaselessly borne back into the Past.
