Lifeline

Bleeding hearts reach out across
An all time void in time and space
Then throw their final hand in and
Retire with the minimum grace
Take a train though the rain down the mainline
Fun city 
A home in the sunshine
Is just a lifeline away
It's just a lifeline away

The old infirm and young at heart
Tread carefully down gravel paths
While the young insane and sick in mind
Try to take their own lives just to save a little time
Through the vein to the brain down the mainline
Fun city 
A home in the sunshine
Is just a lifeline away
An old time band in a cabaret
​Is just a lifeline away
It's just a lifeline away
