Tears For Fears - Mr. Pessimist lyrics

Time will swallow Your precious time Like magic create the future What makes man so fickle ? Who put the daggers in those eyes ? Was it to learn Through dark days of struggle ? Was it to burn To burst all our bubbles ? Thunder and rain Well the cynicle flame will it heat, stick and blister ? Thunder and rain Evangelistic brother Should be banging a tambourine Go wash your hands and fingers Till your mind is clean Was it your fate To sleep like a normal ? Time and decay No man is immortal Thunder and rain Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame Will it heat stick and blister ? Thunder and rain Still try to resist the pessimist The pessimist no no And these things i find In the back of my mind Where time lasts forever I get all mixed Think i'm all mankind Listen mr pessimister With your catholic taste Oh listen mr pessimister pessimister We do not relate Listen mr pessimister, pessimister, pessimister Mr pessimister
