We all start out as beautiful as spring
   A midnight summers dream
   So innocent we look upon ourselves
   And we wish the whole world well
   In the end we want it all
   In the end we take it all
   In the end apart it falls
   In the end there's nothing
   We bear no scar in our conscience
   Clean and smooth
   We kiss the breast of youth
   As our eyesight fades with age
   We put on horn-rimmed glasses
   And we work our lives away
   Buy the pearl
   Sell the world
