Phenomenal World

Born on a junk heap in the sea
Cursed with the notion to be free
White and bright and twenty-one
But in my heart I'm on the run
I kissed the lips of old and me
I tasted sugar as it breathes
But in the early morning light
I saw the day destroy the night
Life is a long walk home

Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping something
Beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heart strings
No, don't cling
To this phenomenal world

I lost my senses in the spring
Of someone's life I left behind
Though I searched through everything
A sense of loss is all I find
Her face is every work of art
She haunts the city high and low
But I can't live inside her heart
And so I had to let it go
And make my heart my home

Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping something
Beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heart strings
No, don't cling
To this phenomenal world

Was it the moonlight
That left you gasping
Grasping something
Beyond a boy or a girl
Just let it all blow
Untie your heart strings
No, don't cling
To this phenomenal world
