On A Tuesday Songtext / Lyric

I was born in this building

It was the first Tuesday I'd ever seen

And if I live to see tomorrow

It would be my Tuesday number: 2119

A life has its way of turning your best suits the wrong way

As if to smile and say: "I feast on the irony, my friend"

I'm "come what may"



And it might just be, my friend

This is your unlucky day

Will you change? What would you give to stay?

But I change, I honestly can't say

I have no promises to trade

For the Lord of "come what may"

To provide me with another day

Every promise that I make

Is a promise I might break






The things we humans say to survive

The promises we make

The lies we tell, vows we take

The battles we all win to survive

Prices we will pay

But we don't know

We will lose one day



Life is a ride, they say

There are tickets I've never paid

I'm afraid there'll be no vow to take

For any god of "come what may

He won't let me live, he'll let me die

For what I am right here and now

Nothing more than all I am today

Close my eyes, I do not pray



Promises, they tempt me to

Will I change? I won't be that fool

Maybe for a day, a week, maybe two

I'm a dreamer, narcissist

Manchild that's confessed

The face of death won't make me an evangelist

I close my hands, not in prayer, not in prayer - into fists



I lost the way



The things we humans say to survive

The promises we make

The lies we tell, vows we take

The battles we all win to survive

Prices we will pay

But we will lose either way



I lost the will

I lost the way

But haven't lost the faith

It's just lost in me



I lost the will

I lost the way

But haven't lost the faith

It's just lost in me



I lost the will

I lost the way

But haven't lost the faith

It's just lost in me



I lost the will



The things that we must save

To pretend this passing light of day

Is not the end, is not the end



The things that we all say to be safe

The things that we will trade

Just give away for one more day

We'll smile and tell sweet lies

To chase away the shadows that prey

Cast by the passing light of day
