All In Vain

I wish, I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vainI wish, I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vainI wish, I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vainDifferent colors, different faces

Different schools in different places

Scour the morning papers, all in vainEvening after, who remembers?

Say your prayers for the great pretenders

I see nothing but flowers, all in vainI wish, I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vainI wish, I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vainAll the gravestone elegies

'I never met you' memories

And every TV picture, all in vainAll your questions, deep as skin

Separate worlds to put them in

Another 'might have been', all in vainI wish

(Colorblind as tse-tse flies)

I wish

(Sucking all our difference dry)

I wish

(And as we sleep they multiply)

I wishI wish

(And as we sleep they multiply)

I wish

(All in vain)

I wish

(And as we sleep they multiply)

I wish

(All in vain)I wish

(And as we sleep they multiply)

I wish

(All in vain)

I wish

(And as we sleep they multiply)I wish

(Multiply)
