I lost my shoes I lost my wife 
I lost my keys I lost my kite 
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older 

Subway eyes and banked up skies 
And violent towns and frozen pies 
And all them football crowds who lost are cold now 

But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine 
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time 

Suddenly I've realized 
That I won't be here when I die 
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting 

Time and all it's precious wine 
Is somehow primed to make us whine 
And fret even then when we should be sleeping 

But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes 

Empty cries and hollow toots 
And all the signs that have no use 
And fingers point accusingly are sinning 

Humourless hypocrisy 
And all the crimes we didn't see 
The sigh that knows the devil might be winning 

But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine 

And maybe it's the greatest test 
A man's surrounded by his death 
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey 

That's how you make me feel 
I love you more than death is real 
It's sad but in the end it might be funny 

That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me 
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
