Lost the World

from The Easy Thing by New People

/

lyrics

When you’ve lost the world that you’ve been waiting for
And you have tried the key, and it don’t fit the door
When you have seen your dreams as they go flushing down
And you forgot the plot that carried you around

I do believe that you might qualify for some vacation when you die
You’ve got a life with no holds on it, no holds any more

And what you thought important made you miss your cue
And though you bought the package it has returned you
And while I know you’re on it, still, I’ve got to say
If you’ve been turning on it, well, then that’s okay

I do believe that you’ve finally found you, so damn beautiful around you
One life’s loss another’s gain; shake your point and suck the pain
Things don’t work out as you planned them; break the contract and expand them
As you want so shall you dare, not that this is fair

So if you’ve lost the world and your beloved crown
If you love the future then you won’t fall down
And though you’ve lost the dreams that used to pull you through
There’s still some stuff around that you might like to do
