i am sad alright

but what a waste of time

i held you much too close

and now there`s something missing

but i can`t see the empty space

something else has taken place

i am sad alright

but what a waste of tears

i held you much too close

and now there`s someone missing

she is gone without a trace

just the expression on her face:

what a waste

there`s a flame and a fire and a body burning up

and a bird on a shape made of steel ohoh

he keeps on singing



it`s not exactly what you think

not exactly what you see

not exactly what you`ve learned

and what you will be learning



i am sad alright

but what a waste of breath

i`m only talking to relieve

although there`s noone listening

he is gone without a trace

just the expression on his face:

who`s to blame?

there`s a flame and a fire and a body burning up

and a bird on a shape made of steel, ohoh

he keeps on singing



it`s not exactly what you think

not exactly what you see

not exactly what you`ve learned

and what you will be learning
