Fine World Lyrics

Here I betray

The girl that went away;

It's a fine world

Family of my own

Castle for a home

It's a fine world

And when I wake up at night

There's not a moment's fright

In my fine world

And if now you look at me

There's a different girl you'll see

In my fine world

For gone are the days

Of daydreaming haze

And wanting to be what I'm not

Gone is the time

When I'd hide behind the line

Of bad and wayward ways

So follow me now

There's no sacred cow

To be slaughtered on the altar of desire

There's no wasted time

Burned into my mind

That counts the seconds between life and death

I have put aside those childish things

That made me what I'm not

I have lived the life of a righteous wife

Grateful for what I have got

But regret oh regret

That unloved ragged pet

Keeps sidling up to me

To say what could have been

Had I not put those childish things away

So I just give

Always give

Never take

For to take would be some mistake

For if I take

I would forsake

That unselfish grown up

That gave it all up

For all the others that breathe

The same air

That I dared to inhale

At the altar of change

For gone are the days

Of daydreaming haze

And wanting to be what I'm not

Gone is the time

When I'd hide behind the line

Of bad and wayward ways

So follow me now

There's no sacred cow

To be slaughtered on the altar of desire

There's no wasted time

Burned into my mind

That counts the seconds between life and death

For gone are the days

Of daydreaming haze

And wanting to be what I'm not

Gone is the time

When I'd hide behind the line

Of bad and wayward ways

So follow me now

There's no sacred cow

To be slaughtered on the altar of desire

There's no wasted time

Burned into my mind

That counts the seconds between life and death

Now look at me

An ordinary me

In my fine world

Automaton switched on

All wishes dead and gone

In my fine world

And I don't lose heart

When it all falls apart

For I'm programmed to deceive

I get up with the sun

Fall asleep when I'm numb

In my fine world

And this tomb is just fine

For the little girl that died

In this fine world

Here you see

A satisfied me

It's a fine world

All dreams repressed

No longer depressed

In my fine world

Don't swear when I wake

I sleep like a babe

In my fine world

All hope has died

I'm feeling fine

In my fine world

Don't ask for much

Don't need human touch

In my fine world

For gone are the days

Of daydreaming haze

And wanting to be what I'm not

Gone is the time

When I'd hide behind the line

Of bad and wayward ways

So follow me now

There's no sacred cow

To be slaughtered on the altar of desire

There's no wasted time

Burned into my mind

That counts the seconds between life and death

Here you see

The happiest of me
