i read it all  every word  and i still don't 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 thing  just a yin and a yang or 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 a thought 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  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 yin and a yang or 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'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 yin and a yang or 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  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 lose  whether you win or lose  whether you win or lose  whether you win or lose
