On the brink of complying I'm very slow And I say to myself: "Oh no, don't go Well I like you the way you are So please don't change Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?" So today it starts and tomorrow it ends I lost my soul and I lost my friends So today it ends and tomorrow it starts The brooding of a million hearts Music's the way, the only way I know It's time to let the brooding heart Choose the way to go 'Cause love is not the answer It's never here to stay What's here through the night May be gone by day On the brink of attack I'm society prone And they're telling me: "You should find out what is wrong" I think I'm alright I'm still putting up a fight But I keep on losing Soon I'll be dying of fright On the brink of insanity I see my friend And I'm trying to tell him: "It can't be the end Well, you've made me live Now you've got more to give" If he goes o'er that brink Who will I cry with? Because music's the way, the only way I know It's time to let the brooding heart Choose the way to go 'Cause love is not the answer It's never here to stay What's here through the night May be gone by day What's here through the night May be gone by day
