well I wish every day was a Friday night * with a long weekend straight
ahead * and we all lived in shining castles * and there was no such word as
dead * but reality's harsh and we're all going to die * no one's come back
lately to tell us otherwise * so grin and bear it and enjoy what you can *
because too many castles are built out of sand * and there's never enough to
go around anyway * I'm far and away * you spend so many nights wishing on a
star * til a cold wind reminds you that you're just right where you are *
you try to avoid it, focus on what's real * but when the dollar is king,
it's hard not to kneel * and we all live life wanting more and more *
everyone's a player and everyone keeps score * and television with one-way
vision * shows you all the things that you haven't got * I'm far and away
* you can't sound the retreat * when it's out in the street * it's all around
you, it's everywhere you go
