All alone on my own Since I walked out on you, I walked out on me, now it's gone And you, what to do now? There's so much time, and so many nights to get through Oh, why do we play? And why do we lose? It's a crazy life we live We two
We are fools, we make all these rules We make it so hard to find love, to feel free to be fresh outta school And now, what of romance? Do we know that life is sweeter when we're taking a chance? Oh, so why do we run? And why do we hide? It's a dangerous life we live You and I Carousels and wishing wells were the things we loved To fly away in a big balloon was what she talked of, oh-oh We're just got back from the border And what I saw made me know for sure that we're out of order I had a dream about New Orleans In Jackson Square, I heard their prayer down in New Orleans On the run, there's a life for livin' But the people there, they just don't care They're buildin' their lives like a millionaire down on the border ♪ You never see me in old Iran The women there don't know who I am in old Iran And I never will go to Singapore The people there will cut your hair down in Singapore On their streets there's a life of plenty But they'll never know about the freedom show Their livin' in darkness years ago On the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border Down on the border, yeah, yeah
