You felt that rocket of inspiration That once again you could fly Without fear, resurrected Right across that great big sky And every dream had rainbows at the red Give or take one or two lost friends It's gonna hurt – it hurts Words that soared and burnt your heart out Now sound lifeless, empty and grey And all your treasures that you brought out You're quickly packing them all away Those flashing neon-lights are on the blink And if it's dark this tried swimmer just might sink It's gonna hurt – it hurts That snow keeps on-a-falling Just keeps on endlessly tumbling down You've grown tired of yourself Tired of this monochrome, soulless town Maybe your love was a great big illusion But it's not me who has to convince you It's gonna hurt – it hurts
