Albert Camus

[Intro] [Verse 1]   Did you ever read Albert Camus?   The bit about how you got to turn away from the world to understand it Did you feel this too? I was in a mindless kind of queue        But then I went and put myself right out Found things just got a bit wilder [Chorus]   Haven’t you heard right?   It’s a truly absurd life   Tomorrow you could be a big hole And the next day you could be a king Can’t return to my old ways   When the nothingness held up the days   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you       [Verse 2]   I used to think nothing of the end   Repeating each day was my forte Spinning out time like a spider with a web Devouring every second I was fed         But then I went and sailed right out got lost Found things just got a bit lighter [Chorus] Haven’t you heard love?   It’s a truly absurd love   Tomorrow you could be a big kiss And the next day you could be a stone Can’t return to my old lives   Quite oblivious to all of the signs   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you      [Bridge] Invited to the feast Only had one grape Always arrived ahead of time But turned out I was late I can see now the world does not care That is okay with me So I never needed a boat to sail out to the sea [Chorus] Haven’t you heard right?   It’s a truly absurd life   Tomorrow you could be a big hole And the next day you could be a king Can’t return to my old ways   When the nothingness held up the days   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you Haven’t you heard love?   It’s a truly absurd love   Tomorrow you could be a big kiss And the next day you could be a stone Can’t return to my old lives   Quite oblivious to all of the signs   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you
