the art of getting by (song for heaven's gate)

we used to think we only had to try

and gamble on the art of getting by

oh

turn it into a different way

where the day takes a guarantee from the night

making up's not the same as making it right

we listen for a voice that never comes

and separate before the snow's begun

oh

second guessing the other side

and i do

and i do believe in the right

to make now all we ever have in our sight

hiding us from the past

diving into the future

hiding us from the past

diving into the future

taking the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

taking the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

so leave the generations with the key

so shake the revelations 'til they're free

oh

over-riding the second side

'cos i know

'cos i know the reasons below

carry on

carry on the feeling will go

hiding us from the past

diving into the future

hiding us from the past

diving into the future

taking the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

taking the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

hiding us from the past

diving into the future

hiding us from the past

diving into the future

taking the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

taking the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

ah

is it coming in the morning?

ah

is it coming after all?

taking the the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

taking the the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

taking the the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters

taking the the only way we know

taking the only thing that matters
