Lyrics

Of all the empires left to sing about
You're on your way now, there can be no doubt
With the vampires and the nobodies

You wander round, don't know who you are
Underground or a shining star
Spinning all round your head

Cover your eyes, try to block it out
All we been through, all we been without
We'll leave 'em something they can talk about
When its overö

It ain't over when its over

Treading landmines, getting knocked all about
Your allies have started thinning out
And you can't hide getting older

You wander round, people come and go
You run agound, like everyone you know
All the vampires, please leave

Cover your eyes, try to block it out
All your insides want to scream and shout
We'll leave 'em something they can talk about
When its overö

It ain't over when its over

When you think that you're alone
Its the same everyone you know
When there's no way out, you turn it round and carry on
