Aztec Camera - Reason for Living lyrics

Words and music by Roddy Frame

Now you're back in my arms again

Let your heart be rearranged

While you were sleeping the reaper's been reaping

The times have changed

Speak softly to me

You have more power than the bomb

The tears in your eyes are just medals and prizes

The war is over

Miracles will come and go watch it all work out

But don't give in

If you should climb to the top of the world

Just to take it on the chin

What would would it matter if the world were to shatter

Is it the world you believe in

You crawl to the ends of the earth

As the scenery's caving in

On knees burnt by gravel the season's unravel

Your reason for living

With flesh and blood and small change

We start a little something new

Rather lead and be mistaken than following and fakin'

For the sake of seeming true

All the stars and satellites shine down on you

But which will you heed?

If you should climb to the top of the world

Just to take it on the chin

What would would it matter if the world were to shatter

Is it the world you believe in?

You crawl to the ends of the earth

As the scenery's caving in

On knees burnt by gravel the season's unravel

Your reason for living

If I should drown in the light of your eyes

Well I'd rather die giving

Walk the line with some grace say it wasn't a race

Ain't that a reason for living?
