Sweet Endeavour

A life spent dancing in the street
In case you ever missed a beat
Of you beating heart
The jigsaw pieces next to me
Are part of the assembly
Of a major work of art
When the streets have gone to ruin
A tributary of life left you in
The heart of darkness for a while
To live the life you must be fluid
Don't think about it, just do it
Then live in denial

It doesn't last for ever
It took you for a ride
In life's sweet endeavour
You never really tried
You had to grab the moment
You never crossed that bridge
Every time a token attempt
The journey made you sick

A life spent dancing in the street
In case you ever missed a beat
Of you beating heart
The jigsaw pieces that you see
Are part of the catastrophe
Of a major work of art
Put it down to integration, differentiation
A computer glitch that you're descended from
But the world that brings you sorrow
It won't still be here tomorrow
The future is already dead and gone

It doesn't last for ever
It took you for a ride
In life's sweet endeavour
You never really tried
You had to grab the moment
You never crossed that bridge
Every time a token attempt
The journey made you sick

I came here looking for true romance
I came here, I found you
I cam here again but things had changed in my life
I can't get through the night without you

It doesn't last for ever
It took you for a ride
In life's sweet endeavour
You never even tried
You had to grab the moment
You never crossed that bridge
Every time a token attempt
The journey made you sick

It doesn't last for ever
It doesn't last for ever
It doesn't last for ever
Life's sweet endeavour
