Prefab Sprout - The World Awake Lyrics
That frightening little sound its just the world awakeIts just a way of saying were in businessIts just a lightning strike, its just a family rowIts just the give and take of forgivenessChance being a fine thing brought us togetherBut were not magnets well not foreverIts just the way I am, its just the way we areIts just a nervous flickering of old flamesNow everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry youWho, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wifeIf this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awakeChance being a fine thing brought us togetherBut were not magnets well not foreverIts just the way I am, its just the way we areIts just a nervous flickering of old flamesSo dont you cry theyre, theyre only wordsTheyre only the saddest thing youve ever heardNow everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry youWho, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wifeIf this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awake
