Weekday nights, the soap is on TV

Goggle box, magic box, our lives mimic the stars very well

The moon is falling, the stars are fading

I wonder what's on channel 8





The moon is falling, the stars are fading

For two months now it is hasn't been raining

The heat of day last till night and it's burning

Clean water is nearly gone, our tongues are drying





Saturday night, we are cruising for a bruising

Fast love, loose women and faster cars

We will never make it to church on time

The hottest girls wear black and are clubbing and pubbing





We will never make it to church on time

The unbelieving say that is fine

But no one is saved by the wine and dine

My soul must shine, and claim what is mine





Midnight, it's parties and movies

Social functions are very nice, we'll sing and we'll dance

The state of the world has no impact on me

I think that girl is very pretty





The state of the world has no impact on me

The landscape is changing, the old beauty I'll never see

They're cutting down the forest, in the museum is a tree

Wild animals that once roam the earth, no longer shall run free





Late nights, it's alright

It's a morning in bed, it's an afternoon in bed

Time has become so trivial, we can let it slip by

Just as long as I can look good tonight





Time has become so trivial, we can let it slip by

Old men stare into space and at night they cry

They worry that soon their time will come to die

They will have never existed, once the tears run dry






Clean water is nearly gone, our tongues are drying

My soul must shine, and claim what is mine

Wild animals that once roam the earth, no longer shall run free

They will have never existed, once the tears run dry





Love, hurry don't be late

We can dance through the flowers in the field

Drink from the sparkling stream, it's real

Close your eyes and pretend it's a dream

Play with the light from the sun, it's soft beam

While I lay my hand on your beautiful face

This is such, a perfect place
