Some say it’s no good, life’s no good. I Say that they’ve misunderstood.
Then I fall on my face again. I’m back at the start again. 
Like the hope that never was, life’s a pipedream and I always knew it was. 
And I know every long lost lonesome road on the way to the end of the world.

Some pray in these dark days of sin. And you say “The sun shines from within”. 
Then you fall on your face again. You’re back at the start again. 
In the circle of your friends there’s a comradeship whose journey never ends. 
And I know every savage sea you sailed on the way to the end of the world.

Like the hope that never was, life’s a pipedream and I always knew it was.
And I know how your loneliness evolved on the way to the end of the world.
