I've been here before - this is where my fingers slipped into yours This is where I trembled - when you touched mine This is where the seeds we planted long ago Grew up to tell us we're too old to know
I've been here before - this is where the novelty starts wearing off, wearing off, wearing off And all the world's a stage - it's just that I ain't on it anymore, anymore This ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, it's the real thing What am I supposed to do now? Crawl down the hole of monotony - monotony - monotony - monotony
The silence is deafening - *the phone never rings* Won't somebody help me cos - I feel like I'm drowning If I should sink - if I should swim It doesn't really matter anymore - Dead man walkin'
I've been meaning to tell you for oh so long Baby you got it right 'n I got it wrong Now I know what ageism means - you gotta try a little harder you gotta be a little stronger
I've been here before - this is where nothing happens anymore, anymore, anymore, Someone else's rage - someone else's pain Someone else's ego - you will believe, you will believe
This ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, it's the real thing What am I supposed to do now? Sink to the bottom of obscurity, obscurity, obscurity, obscurity
It's a foregone conclusion - a fait accompli It's all taken care of - you don't have to worry If I should lose - If I should win It doesn't really matter anymore - Dead man walkin'
