What makes you sad my darling?
Oh, everything.
The nightclubs are broken,
The fifties have ended.
My friends are all ghosts
Who’s lives just upended.
I was in love with a girl
She’s frozen in time.
I was in love with a world,
That will never be mine.

What makes you cry my lovely?
Oh, everything.
The war’s taking over
My mind and my heart.
I’m still young in my body
But not in my parts.
I can’t contact you,
Though you haunt me.
Every dream about you.
Just leave me be.

But then I’ll see,
I’ll see everything
Through the lens I’ve been given.
And I’ll stare at,
At pure everything,
And I’ll know I’m just living.

And I want what everybody wants.
To be someone else.
