this is my interpretation. can anyone fill in the blanks?

I'm with you on the first 10 lines (did you get some of that from my submission to lyrics.wikia, or did we get the same independently?) I'm hearing more syllables than "poor old lover", and there's definitely an S in the middle of the following line:

Poor o never heard/hurt In days/terms/times of pr__

The closing lines, combining my take with yours, I think it's:

Feel the days end and we close down Spend your moment We shall all see If we run or fly we run away On my own and We will go free We will go free We will go free...

nice work rocketcar.

i think i did adapt from your lyrics.wikia post.

i've made some changes above using your take and reevaluating.

i think it's "i'm living like a child NOW" sounds like one syllable not "at home" i don't think it's "i pay money for a second chance", seems like it should be two syllables not three, and it has a more open sound like the words "now" or "ouch" do. hmm... as far as the "poor old lover" line goes i think you're right that it has the word "never" in there, but i think that she's just elongating...
