Constant’s Dream
Album Fading Lines
[Verse 1]
What do you want to see before you die?
The whole world, all the time
It’s not different we’re just getting used to it
But we’ve always known what to expect
One after another, yeah
We’re moving right on track
But will we know how to react?

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, I wouldn’t want it all the same
Oh oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, ahhh

[Verse 2]
Leave your house the New Babylon way
To roam around, are you entertained?
Our bodies are full and nobody is trying
It’s not like we don’t want to, we’re just not desiring

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, I wouldn’t want it all the same
Oh oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, ahhh
Oh, oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, I wouldn’t want it all the same
Oh oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, ahhh
Oh, oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, I wouldn’t want it all the same
Oh oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, ahhh
Oh, oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, I wouldn’t want it all the same
Oh oh, but if it was just for me
Oh oh, ahhh
