The Existential Opera

lyrics

----- Part i
When I was 19 I never would have thought that I would be here
So successful
a Mansion, a beach house a beautiful girlfriend
a city full of people who know me by name
and a lifetime of the love of my wife
yea a lifetime of my best-friend's love

----- Part ii
I give you my heart you give me your heart
and everything works out perfectly

No one gets hurt and nobody cries
and everyone laughs in the sunshine

This is a dream that everyone's working for It's just like a dream I had as a child
WHoa...

A crack in the sky a Look in the eye
from someone I thought I noticed

a girl from a dream that never was real
why is she winking at me?

This is a dream I had as a child, so why's it happening now?
Cause life's not a dream unless it's illusionary, Made up for me.

A trick of the light or a trick of the mind
maybe god himself is playing a trick on me

the buildings and cars the sun and the stars
how could this all be an illusion?

All of the love I've known for a lifetime
why would I question something so beautiful

----- Part iii
The girl from my dream takes my hand
tries to tell me that we were one-time lovers

but I don't even know her name
But what can one do when it's warm inside

----- Part iv
I give you my heart you give me your heart
and everything works out perfectly

No one gets hurt and nobody cries
and everyone laughs in the sunshine

This is a dream I've had for a lifetime whether it's real or not doesn't matter much (at least not much to me)
WHoa...
