Lyrics
Can you see the young and pretty, confident as cops?
Blooming, laughing in the shops
'Til the sun turns black
Can you see the old and lonely walking through the park?
Pushing grocery carts
'Til the sun turns black
Can you see the corporate man? He's winning on the telephone
His possessions are his throne
'Til the sun turns black
Can you see him in his lounger, watching TV in the dark?
Waiting for the spark
'Til the sun turns black
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, we, oh whoa, oh whoa whoa
Ooh, oh, we, who are we?
Can you see the working classes trudging through their days?
Time goes slowly when you're only waiting
'Til the sun turns black
Can you see the wise man simply living, loving quietly?
Every breath he takes, eternity
'Til the sun turns black
