THE CAT EMPIRE lyrics : "Reasonably Fine"

I lost my shoes I lost my wife
I lost my keys I lost my kite
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older


Subway eyes and banked up skies
And violent towns and frozen pies

And all them football crowds who lost are cold now

But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time


Suddenly I've realized
That I won't be here when I die
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting


Time and all it's precious wine
Is somehow primed to make us whine

And fret even then when we should be sleeping

But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes


Empty cries and hollow toots
And all the signs that have no use
And fingers point accusingly are sinning


Humourless hypocrisy
And all the crimes we didn't see

The sigh that knows the devil might be winning

But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine


And maybe it's the greatest test
A man's surrounded by his death
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey


That's how you make me feel
I love you more than death is real

It's sad but in the end it might be funny

That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
