What's it like now? Let's just say it's hard to remember, ooh ooh Every light's out, every store's open, I'm tender ooh ooh You made me your prophet of stage Say you shouldn't rattle your cage Only to realise the hope's still living in the wide world What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now? I become your favourite pretender, ooh ooh Keep me tied down, keep your mind off of my temper, ooh ooh One day then I'll laugh in your face You picture a pastor of grace Only to realise the future's still out in the wild I sleep in alleyways and waterfalls to find where I begin I see the future and the past, I feel the present caving in I wash my hands of it and trade it for a world inside my head Can't remember what you said What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now, what's it like now What's it like now, what's it like now
