another sad story

Singer:boomtown rats, the

and it's a sad

sad story

johnnie had the ring but he never took the chance

and it's all a game

so he never showed his hand to how he played it

the guessing game

same old story

susan

she don't fit but she weighs them just the same

a life in a day

and in the end

no love

no loss

forbidden colors

their hearts' desire

you're face to face

and back to friends

and just all smiles that lead nowhere at all

nowhere at all

nowhere at all

another sad

sad story

'cus johnnie had the ring but he never took the chance

and it's an uphill climb

one step forward

two steps back

don't look behind

that uphill climb

and in the end

no love

no loss

forbidden colors

their hearts' desire

you're face to face

and back to friends

and just all smiles that lead nowhere at all

and i show the emptiness

cause his hands are all alone

the killing of mind and soul

it's only half of it

it's only half of it

oh oh

oh oh

but in the end

no love

no loss

forbidden colors

their hearts' desire

it's face to face

and back to friends

it's just all smiles that lead nowhere at all

nowhere at all

nowhere at all
