I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
But it's all in vain
I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
But it's all in vain
I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
But it's all in vain
Different colors, different faces
Different schools in different places
Scour the morning papers, all in vain
Evening after, who remembers?
Say your prayers for the great pretenders
I see nothing but flowers, all in vain
I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
But it's all in vain
I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
But it's all in vain
All the gravestone elegies
'I never met you' memories
And every TV picture, all in vain
All your questions, deep as skin
Separate worlds to put them in
Another 'might have been', all in vain
I wish
(Colorblind as tse-tse flies)
I wish
(Sucking all our difference dry)
I wish
(And as we sleep they multiply)
I wish
I wish
(And as we sleep they multiply)
I wish
(All in vain)
I wish
(And as we sleep they multiply)
I wish
(All in vain)
I wish
(And as we sleep they multiply)
I wish
(All in vain)
I wish
(And as we sleep they multiply)
I wish
(Multiply)
I wish
(I wish)
Multiply
(I wish)
(I wish)
Multiply
(I wish)
Multiply
(I wish)
Multiply
(I wish)
Multiply
(I wish)
