When you wake up in the middle of the night
Remembering an old friend
That you know you'll never
Want to get to know again
Then life is present
And it stares at you
And when you see an old man
Who's so lonely and strange
And know that just him
Was quite a fellow
Then life is present
And it stares at you
Because I believe that life
Is a strange friend
That has once again
Fooled you again< br/>And when you otherwise think that life is so boring and safe
Are you ashamed now, completely consumed by fear
Completely consumed by fear
And when you sit there and shaking
In an airplane
And longing down towards the earth
For your lover
Then life is present
And it stares at you.
And when you're out on the sea
And the storm blows up
And you glimpse between the waves'
Your beloved's body
Then life is present< br/>And it stares at you
Because I believe that life
Is a strange friend
That has once again
Fooled you again
And when you otherwise think life is so boring and safe
Are you ashamed now, completely consumed by fear
Completely consumed by fear
You thought that the world
Could suddenly end
You thought you were an adult
But then you were just a little boy
A little boy
And if you think life is so boring and safe
Are you ashamed now ¥, completely consumed by fear
Completely consumed by fear
