Lyrics: Pipe Dreams

I read it all, every word
And i still dont understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard
Was it love?
Was it take another walk in the dark?
You'll never learn

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just a ying and a yang of a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose
Isn't gonna change a single thing

I stood in line and i thought
It crossed my mind i had been dreaming
But i didn't mind
I signed the line and the woman looked right through me
She didn't smile

Chorus (x2)

And it all boils down to the same old fear
Just a link in a chain,just a puppet on a string
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose (x4)
