Harper Simon - Eternal questions

You had an invite from the sun
Thought your new life had begun
But the wrong words were coming out of your mouth
You tried to sell this side of home, it's just a house
And you preferred in a hospital bed with the tears coming down
'Cause you're better off dead.

Took yourself out of the game
Because it always ends the same
And they can see that your condition is cracked
They can tell your disposition is black

And you preferred in a hospital bed with the tears coming down
'Cause you're better off dead
And you, you wonder where you'll sleep tonight
You wonder when you'll get it right
Who are you? Where have you been? Where are you going?
Are eternal questions not worth knowing?

Sick, haunting fear, you're a bit remote
And you just can't play it note for note
Tell him you're tired of being just bad news
And you're tired of the same abuse
Same mistakes again and again
With the tears coming down, ‘cause you know how it ends.

And you, you wonder where you'll sleep tonight
You wonder when you'll get it right
Who are you? Where have you been? Where are you going?
Are eternal questions not worth knowing?
'Cause you won't be around, no you won't be around.

Had an invite from the sun
Thought your new life had begun
But the wrong words were coming out of your mouth
You tried to sell this side of home, it's just a house
And you preferred in a hospital bed with the tears coming down
‘Cause you're better off dead

And you, you wonder when you'll feel ok
You wonder how you got this way
Who are you? Where have you been? Where are you going?
Are eternal questions not worth knowing?
