Gino Vannelli – Constantly Constantine lyrics

It's all a vicious game a tragic joke
A pointless twist of fate
The sun will rise the sun will set
All for it's own resplendent sake

But fools like you get mist eyed
As you walk along the strand
You claim your eyes can see eternity
In a single grain of sand

Seeking Heaven in the ruins waisting away
Believing life is but a dream
That's why the world kills you constantly
Constantine

Don't speak to me of love or tenderness
Your notions of romance
The moon will wax the moon will wane
And there are those who would fall into a trance

See the stars in your hallowed sky
A million poets strong
Not a bleeding word is ever heard
And the stars keep shining on

Yet there you sigh all mystified staring at a rose
As if your eyes have really seen
That's why the world kills you constantly
Constantine

Sooner or later
You'll choose to be smart
You'll see the world for what it is
And not some sacred work of art

Save yourself from certain hell
Keep your head above your tender heart
(Your tender heart)

Seeking Heaven in the ruins wasting away
Believing life is but a dream
That's why the world kills you constantly
Constantine
Constantly Constantine

Constantine it's killing you
It's killing me, it's killing you
Oh, God it's killing me
Constantine
