This life it came upon me
Under a raincoat
I stole a car that was made in England
It was shining like a star
This wild animal on the hood
Like made in heaven
But my honest (fair) money seems no good in this place

It came upon me like murder
It came upon me like birth
There were times when I sat still
There were times when I did not

What if we came home
What if we made love in the end
What if we came home
And what if the scheme really worked
Things that are made out of styrofoam
Can last a lifetime or more
What if we came home
What if we made love in the end

Sad lovers say things they don't mean
They'll mourn upon my grave
Bringing flowers for their loved one
They finally will see
As the one who tried to show them
That it's better to be gay
In this strange world filled with (full of) laughter

This night it came upon me
Somewhat later
It sang a kind of lovesong
Somewhat brighter
And just maybe, I'll be there too, it said

What if we came home
What if we made love in the end
What if we came home
And what if the scheme really worked
things that are made out of styrofoam
can last a lifetime or more
What if we came home
What if we made love in the end

So long!
See you there!
