Strange Days and Wistful Thoughts Are Afoot God Knows Why
Today when and once i awoke
Much like any other day
With no or other apparent reason
After giving up all hope of hope
And instead of wishing time would
stop and for the end to come
I felt something foreign the
strangest thing as if a
blast from my past
As for a single second i remembered
what i was feeling was in fact the
sensation of being happy
And somehow had been granted
my lifetime wish
Only for my joy to be tempered
by the simple fact
I couldn't for the life of me
logically understand or
comprehend
Why ?
Because i am still me the very same
person that fell asleep last night only
to awake today
So how come all of a sudden given
i haven't done anything deserving
since dusk till dawn
As i can't think or in anyway explain
how i have gone from misery to happy
The only thing different or actually changed
Was i finally gave up praying and
wishing for my prayers to be answered
Maybe it's because i have eventually
now exhausted both the patience
of the living and Springsteen himself
But hey that's life
I was always told and new
from day one there's a hell
of a price to pay
