Lyrics

Laughter and destruction,
All the children feel the suction,
Of the world that draws them in.
We all grow up learning,
Some things are disconcerting,
At a situations' end.
(Chorus)
It's the difference between here and then.
It's the distance between there and right now.
It's the moment between silence and the grave.
And we danced but nobody was saved.
And the problems that face us
Are ridiculous and tasteless.
Don't you call it quits my friend.'Cause many people passing
Half of 'em ain't worth asking
For the time of day again.
(Chorus)
It's the difference between the sun and blind.
It's the distance between lonesome and relying.
It's the moment between laughter and your cell.
And we sang but no one came to dance.
And we danced but nobody was saved.
So if you know the feeling
When homemade toys had meaning
and there were pictures that you'd keep until the end.
'Cause the row that we all hoe
Is hard and rough and full of stones
And the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(Chorus)
It's the difference between a stone and cold.
It's the distance between love and fair.
It's the moment between sighing and surrender.
And we cried 'cause nobody was near.
And we sang but no one came to dance.
And we danced but nobody was saved
Laughter and destruction,
All the children feel the suction,
Of the world that draws them in.
