There's a streetlight faded for the day There's a bombsite to be swept away I will take the day off I will take the day Let the worry dissolve Gonna celebrate I will take the day off I will take the day I will take the day off Because I've done everything you told me to There's no need to act surprised All my life I've done what I was meant to do Never thought about asking why And your own desire will let you know that it's true There's a lonely fire replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new As the city fills with light and noise While the whole world waits to be destroyed I will take the day off I will take the day Let the worry dissolve Gonna celebrate I will take the day off I will take the day I will take the day off Because I've done everything you told me to There's no need to act surprised All my life I've done what I was meant to do Never thought about asking why And your own desire will let you know that it's true There's a lonely fire replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new I can't remember my own name It's been forever, now I'm back again And I cannot believe all the things we deny Waiting for others to make it right Even when it was clear the dream wasn't true Wouldn't admit to the one thing left to do Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new There's a streetlight faded for the day There's a bombsite to be swept away Because I've done everything you told me to There's no need to act surprised All my life I've done what I was meant to do Never thought about asking why And your own desire will let you know that it's true There's a lonely fire replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new Replacing the old with the new
