Can we understand life

And live it at the same time

Where is this purpose you speak of?

I'll be the background of this photograph

The soundtrack to this night

And we are fading out, before our eyes

Close your eyes and welcome in the night

Close your eyes and welcome in the night

In heaven so wonderful

Why are we oh so afraid of dying young

We are dying young

We are the patterns and the shapes

The patchwork from the window on this place

We are alone, alone, alone

Close your eyes and welcome in the night

Close your eyes and welcome in the night

This television set, it burns my eyes

And there is no one here

That can keep me warm tonight

Where is this purpose

Where is the lie, the lie, the lie

Close your eyes and welcome in the night

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
