Life's So Strange

Cold black coffee
Incessant stream of cars
Cigarette ash lies sprinkled
Like a fistful of grey stars
Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
Today the rain's just water
It won't stop from falling down
I grow weary waiting for my muse
But in between the times she comes
I still have to tie my shoes
And get on with my day
There are mornings
When I'm with Icarus
And there are days
I have to take the bus
Life's so rich
Life's so empty
Secret rendezvous
Long distance from a phone booth
Like two players in a mystery
Straight out of our youth
Well I'm finding that dramatics
Have lost their old appeal
I play the part of stoic lover
But I'm not sure how I feel
I get discouraged waiting for the world
To understand this love affair
To understand the girl
There are moments when amelia's right beside me
The next thing I know
I taste the salt of the sea
Life's so rich
Life's so empty
Cold black coffee
Incessant stream of cars
Cigarette ash lies sprinkled
Like a fistful of grey stars
Yesterday it rained
Silver rainbows on the ground
Today the rain's just water
It won't stop from falling down
I grow weary I'm waiting for the world
To understand this love affair
To understand the girl
There are moments when Amelia's right beside me
The next thing I know
I taste the salt of the sea
Life's so rich
Life's so empty
Life's so strange
Oh
