Little Lives Lyrics

Shivering in the shade down by the river

With the ghosts of all my fears

Last night for the first time

I stared at my grandad´s face in the mirror

Who died at 85 on New Year´s Day

And has been dead for nearly thirty years

Soon every time will be a last time

'Cause we´re all not built to last

In a time of fast decline

Time is running out so fast

With no more questions left to ask

My little life´s just stumbling

Like a drunk on his lonely way home

And he´s constantly mumbling

Please tell me, tell me, tell me

Where to go

Let´s all go out down to the city

to the places we once loved

when future used to look so pretty

Fragmented memories of the past

Down by the drowning neon light

In the quiet of our last night

The shards of all our shattered dreams

Still cut me up inside

My little life keeps stumbling

Like a drunk down a cobblestone road

With future´s promises crumbling

'Cause all his stories have been told

When I´m drunk and I´m stumbling

All alone down memory road

I feel so sick and I´m mumbling

Could someone, someone, just someone

Please take me home
