All Amusement (So Close To Tears) Lyrics

It's funny how you were romantic

So idyllic, so close to tears

Now it's all disappointment

Disappointment everywhere's

Crowds and amusement

All amusement, so unprepared

In a minute

Just a minute

It's all a young frontier

You knew I'd write a song about it

A song about it with all my friends

You had a chance but then you blew it

Then you blew it when this began

Your ideals, they meant nothing

They meant nothing

When you gave in

Saramago saw it coming

Saw it coming in blindness

What do you want to go back for?

What did you leave back there?

Why open up closed doors?

Now we can get somewhere

It's sad you cannot see it

You cannot see it, you didn't know?

All your life has been rehearsal

Dress rehearsal for the show

Crowds and amusement

All amusement, for so and so

In a minute

Just a minute

It just goes to show

What do you want to go back for?

What did you leave back there?

Why open up closed doors?

Now we can get somewhere
