Pipe Dreams

I read it all every word
And I still don't understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard? Was it love
Was it take another walk in dark?
You'll never learn

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down
To the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang
Or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down
To the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose
Isn't gonna change a single thing

I stood in line and a thought
crossed my mind I had been dreaming but
I didn't mind
I signed the line and the woman
looked right through me
She didn't smile

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down
To the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang
Or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down
To the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose
Isn't gonna change a single thing

Aaaahhh ooohhh (x2)

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down
To the same old thing
Just a yin and a yang
Or a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down
To the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose
Isn't gonna change a single thing

And it all boils down
To the same old fear
Just a link in a chain
Just a puppet on a string
And it all boils down
To the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose (x4)
