Lyrics
Late, late last eve the touch of destiny tapped lightly on my doorstep
What's this I see, a glimpse of ecstasy draped in doubt set just beyond my reach
Still alive I wake the child to try to start again, no one knows me no one really can
I can fit within this world but I cannot pretend, Yes I see the line but I can't fall in
Hey hey Mikey, you always had a smile for me how'd you know that was all I needed
Hey, hey Mikey, does it hurt, can you see, is Paradise all that you believed in
Still alive I wake the child to try to start again, no one knows me no one really can
Will someone please explain to me so I can understand, cause I can see the line, but I can't fall in
