All life is a mystery,

All things come to he who waits

All things just a twist of fate

It's just a state of mind

All your time is not your own

It's real hard to find out why

It's real hard to say good-bye

To move on down the line...



Both your eyes wide open

You see the shape I'm in

It wasn't of my choosing

It's only bones and skin

And I will plead no contest

If loving you's a crime

So go on and find me guilty

Just one more fucking time



All your life is in your head

All you dreams are in your sleep

And if your dreams are hid too deep

They're just a waste of time

When you try to chase the dream

You never seem to know the time

You never recognize the signs

And nothing's what it seems



Both your eyes wide open

You see the shape I'm in

It wasn't of my choosing

It's only bones and skin

And I will plead no contest

If loving you's a crime

So go on and find me guilty

Just one more fucking time



And if I would have been a bad man

You would have seen the good in me

You would have seen the other

The good man I could be

But since I am a good man

The same was all the same

Nothing I could do, nothing I could do



All life is a mystery,

All things pass you by in time

All things just a perfect crime

It's just the way we are

All instincts let you down

It's not a case of love in vain

It's not a case of love insane

It's enough to break your heart



Both your eyes wide open

You see the shape I'm in

It wasn't my idea

That I be the one to sin

And so all those years together

Weren't worth a fucking dime

So go on and fin
