Lyrics
A man walked up on the street to me I want to protect his privacy I won't say what he wanted but I'll tell you what he gave He gave the eyes of an actor Gave the eyes of a thief Gave the eyes that used to be a human being What I did, I did what I could I could've done more, could've done less Wouldn't have changed what was or what is, it's so senseless So senseless Swimming in rivers of smiling faces Walked through miles of beautiful places Trying to remember what I'm trying to forget All in all I can't complain When I do it's part of the game The rules are always changing but it's still the same What I did, I did what I could I could've done more, could've done less Wouldn't have changed what was or what is, it's so senseless So senseless So senseless Did I get young or did I get blind, reality is so unkind I should be wise, anesthetised It's easier to digest the lies, deny your cries and, and fly (so high) A man came up on the street to me Was a friend of mine in '83 I won't say what he wanted but I'll tell you what he gave He gave the eyes of an actor Gave the eyes of a priest Gave the eyes that used to be a human being What I did, I did what I could Could've done more, could've done less Wouldn't have changed what was or what is, it's so senseless So senseless So senseless I wouldn't have changed what was and what it is 'cause it's all so senseless I wouldn't have changed what was and what it is 'cause it's all so senseless So senseless So senseless So senseless
