Decline And Fall

Lyrics

Time is measured by our heartbeat Never trust a heart of gold Thought I'd mention it in passing Thought I'd tell you how it goes ... Spent my youth in conversation These days I hardly speak at all Could this be the perfect measure Of my own decline and fall ... Decline and fall ... The clothes I wear are all in fashion Although my body is in rags ... The games I play are superficial They help amuse me when time drags ... Strangers toy with my affections Old friends are strangers in disguise I keep my thoughts in isolation Somewhere inside, oh, something dies ... Decline and fall ...
