Futile crush

What gets you out of your bed?
On a lazy day
It’s not your mum, it’s not your dad

Who keeps you moving down?
The dead end streets of your town
It’s not a king, it’s not a clown
It’s better to…

It’s better to have a futile crush,
Then never be crushed at all
Even love that’s torn apart, is better than no love at all
Without a goal, the days are grey; you better start to look around…

Who commands a coin to land
On the proper side
It’s not magic and it’s not pride

What is the power behind the gear?
Turning in your head
It’s not a carrot and it’s not bread
It’s better to…

It’s better to have a futile crush,
Then never be crushed at all
Even love that’s torn apart, is better than no love at all
So what keeps you moving on?
Is the jingle of your
Lonely heart
