All In Vain

I wish, I wish



But it's all in vain



But it's all in vain



I wish, I wish



But it's all in vain



But it's all in vain



I wish, I wish



But it's all in vain



But it's all in vain



Different colors, different faces



Different schools in different places



Scour the morning papers, all in vain



Evening after, who remembers?



Say your prayers for the great pretenders



I see nothing but flowers, all in vain



I wish, I wish



But it's all in vain



But it's all in vain



I wish, I wish



But it's all in vain



But it's all in vain



All the gravestone elegies



'I never met you' memories



And every TV picture, all in vain



All your questions, deep as skin



Separate worlds to put them in



Another 'might have been', all in vain



I wish



(Colorblind as tse-tse flies)



I wish



(Sucking all our difference dry)



I wish



(And as we sleep they multiply)



I wish



I wish



(And as we sleep they multiply)



I wish



(All in vain)



I wish



(And as we sleep they multiply)



I wish



(All in vain)



I wish



(And as we sleep they multiply)



I wish



(All in vain)



I wish



(And as we sleep they multiply)



I wish



(Multiply)



I wish



(I wish)



Multiply



(I wish)



(I wish)



Multiply



(I wish)



Multiply



(I wish)



Multiply



(I wish)



Multiply



(I wish)
