As Time Goes By

Like you're alive again Take ten broken limbs And make it alright for them And I needed you more, More than you'll ever notice But I need to do more If you're to ever know this Or you won't care at all No, you won't care at all For you won't care at all No, you won't care at all Dance puppet boy If you do a good job Then they'll want you again, Give it all that you've got Show them the joy and the pain and the ending Then do it again, and we'll all stop pretending They'll pay more attention to what's before mentioned As you bob your head 'cause you're not even listening A very small few of you even give meanings But laugh, clown boy, laugh 'cause it's always so pleasing Feel, damn you, feel Like you're alive again I needed to know, Needed a show of hands For all this couldn't be sure As we see a lot of them And I traded it all, Could I make a difference At all? I met a woman, She was wonderful, Everything perfect, We both had the world But I filled up my senses With thoughts from the ghost And I spent her life savings Left no room for Both of us Crying and trying And screaming aloud, I barely can see her tumultuous crowds Are careful to hide her and sing much too loud See, you don't even know what I'm talking about Feel, damn you, feel Like you're alive again I needed you more, Than you would ever've noticed Et Al Couldn't be sure That you would ever notice But I gave it my all Did I make a difference at all?
