Pipe Dreams (Healy) - 4:05

I read it all, every word
But I still don't understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard was it love
Was it take another walk in the dark
You 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 the yin and 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 going to change a single thing

I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind
I could been dreaming
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 the yin and 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 going to change a single thing
Just a yin and yang or a couple of pints please
Just a link in a chain, just a puppet on a string
