I don't believe everything that I'm told I've been around and I know the ropes And I won't get fooled again
I don't believe in no fairy tales I don't believe in the man in the moon And no pot of gold or anything else Is waiting at the rainbow's end
I got no illusions now, I guess I lost them long ago You're not gonna get me with this, cause I already know Baby there's no such thing Baby it just ain't true And there's no such thing as safe sex When it comes to loving you
There's always the danger of losing control And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul There's just no protection from that look in your eyes Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry There's always the risk of surrendering more Than I ever intended to do And there's no such thing as safe sex When it comes to loving you
I don't believe in the boogie man I don't believe in no pie in the sky You can wish upon a star until the stars are gone That doesn't mean it's really so
There's no such thing as a Santa Claus There's no such thing as getting money for nothing And no yellow brick road is gonna take you there Wherever you've been trying to go
We'll never be as young as this No matter how we try, we grow You're not such an innocent boy And I already know
Baby there's no such thing Baby it just ain't true And there's no such thing as safe sex When it comes to loving you
There's always the danger of giving too much Love is often a drug Love is often a crutch There's no guarantee I can handle it all The higher the climb The longer the fall There's always the danger of losing control And of breaking my heart and exposing my soul There's just no protection from that look in your eyes Or the touch of your hands when I break down and cry There's always the risk of surrendering more Than I ever intended to do And there's no such thing as safe sex When it comes to loving you When it comes to loving you...
I never knew so many bad times Could follow me so mercilessly It's almost surreal All the pain that I feel The future ain't what it used to be
It doesn't matter what they're thinking It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me It's always so cold I'm to young to be old The future ain't what it used to be
Were there ever any stars in the sky Did the sun ever shine so bright? Do you have any dreams I could borrow Just to get me through the lonely night?
Is there anything left to hold on to When the rivers wash it all away? Is there anyone left to hold on to Is there anything left I can say?
Say a prayer for the falling angels Stem the tide of the rising waters Toll a bell for the broken hearted Burn a torch for your sons and daughters The endless night has got a hold of me Dark days are pulling me forward And all the tears are washing over me I'm crying, lost forever In a future that ain't what it used to be No more no more no more
It's like a storm that's never ending It's like a shadow on the land and the sea There's nothing as sad as A tomorrow gone bad The future ain't what it used to be
Some days I feel so numb and empty And those would be the good days for me Nothing gets to me now Unless I'm thinking of how The future ain't what it used to be
Is there anything left to hold on to When the rivers wash it all away? Is there anyone left to hold on to Is there anything left I can say?
Say a prayer for the falling angels Stem the tide of the rising waters Toll a bell for the broken hearted Burn a torch for your sons
