I live this life, strangely

Oh look dear, the moon is bright
and full, the ice covers the lake
that’s bathing in the phantom light
come let us see what we can take
I live this life, strangely
and you share it bravely

We are all puppet-masters
and we are travelling blind
through brute bliss and weird disaster
come let us see what we can find
I live this life, strangely
tho’ it’s driving me crazy

           I live this life, strangely
           and you shared it bravely
           tho’ you did drive me crazy
           as you did re-arrange me
           but no fate could change me
           I live this life, strangely


And the mad skaters whizz by
they’re like sharp knives in the wind
oh cross my heart and hope to die
there is no place they haven’t been
I live this life, strangely
oh come and re-arrange me

We lose ourselves in the snow
life’s labyrinth’s enticing
we can’t say who is in the know
the art of bread is the slicing
I live this life, strangely
and blind fate will not change me
