lyrics

You were the ideal one
Constant as the burning sun
We all revolved around you
You knew it too
Memories seem concrete
As they crumble under your feet
No-one looks you in the eye
And you don't know why

How does it feel to crash land on your own falling star?
When life in limbo resembles a cold, lowering bar?

And we sing 'na na na na naa naa'
As we drive past in our sensible cars
Do we all look the same to you?
And we sing 'na na na na naa naa'
As we drive past in our sensible cars
'Cause life is just a game to you

I see you walking uptown
Bells and whistles weighing you down
You're not content with your half
of the golden calf
Does the pluming of your heart leak?
Does it well up in the pit of your cheek?
And when nobody's around
Does it all come out?

Don't stare at your reflection alone by the lake
Your sleeping beauty erodes while the world stays wide awake

And we sing 'na na na na naa naa'
As we drive past in our sensible cars
Do we all look the same to you?
And we sing 'na na na na naa naa'
As we drive past in our sensible cars
'Cause life is just a game to you
