lyrics

He brought her style and personal glory; any number of see-through stories
She fed him magazine lines, left him dozens of times
Rehearsed the lies inside her head

She gave him jealousy and fever; any number of reasons to leave her
He fed her well-worn lines, cheated on her dozens of times
Rehearsed the lies so often said

Their careless lives depend on this, each imperfection feeds the sorrow
Each precious moment feeds the dream, stumble on into tomorrow

Spent a fortune bending nature’s rules; living out fantasies like fools
Believed they were the good and great, fortune comes to those who wait
Left children far too late, they found

Their careless lives depend on this, each imperfection feeds the sorrow
Each precious moment feeds the dream, stumble on into tomorrow
Oh - such careless lives, oh - careless lives.

Sold their passion to the Sunday sleaze; lost it all in legal fees
Quickly pan to tomorrows scene, a thin goodbye, oh how good it’s been
Turn away with a fragile smile, a casual wave, then in a while
Find they’re left with no more than they gave

Oh - such careless lives, oh - careless lives.
