Some people never learn  Keep taking every turn  A little fast  Thinking nothing ever lasts  Descending (?) oh so sweet  Keep playing in my sleep  But when I wake  I can never recall a thing    And the reason being  Gives reason to everything  To this charmed life that we lead  Something is crying out  Through voices in my tears  Hear the voice crying out  In the strangest memories  Never mind    And reason being  Gives reason to everything  To this charmed life that we lead  Sorry to disappoint you  I never said that I could tell right from wrong  So don't put your faith on me now  I'll leave you in suspension  Till you fall  And the reason being  Gives reason to everything  To this short life that we lead  And the reason being  Gives reason to everything
