  • There's no use trying to relate
    To that older soul
    And no use trying to debate
    That they've got it wrong
    There's no use pining for love
    When you're on your own
    And no use crying outside
    If nobody's home

    There's no use flying to the moon
    If they won't believe
    So why do I go wrong
    On repeat?

    I was blinded by a memory
    Like it's someone else, like it wasn't me
    And there's every chance I'll be learnin' fast
    And the day will come, and then it will pass

    I taught you wrong
    When I say I won't
    And though I try, I do the same as though I must
    And in the air of today is tomorrow's dust

    There's no use trying to relate
    To that older soul
    And no use biding your time
    If the bell has tolled

    I was blinded by a memory
    Like it's someone else, like it wasn't me
    And there's every chance I'll be movin' fast
    And the day will come, and then it will pass

    Sympathy for the fauna
    Fragile life in the sauna
    In the sea getting warmer
    Endlessly 'round the corner

    And though I try, I do the same as though I must
    And in the air of today is tomorrow's dust Writer/s: Kevin Parker
