Keats: Tragedy [lyrics]

Keats

Tragedy

I'd like to say I know you 

And I wonder why 

After all these years you hide yourself from me 

The passion and the pain that’s still deep inside of you 

Are calling you once again, 

Taking you out of my life. 

Tragedy, 

Something is in the air tonight. 

Tragedy, 

It's reaching out for you. 

There's nothing you can do. 

Oh tragedy, 

It's in your eyes, 

On the streets, 

A lonely child 

Plays for keeps 

For just a while. 

The city lights have drawn you back to try again. 

Like a child you always play too close to fire. 

There's something in the danger there that 

You can't defy. 

Though you've been burnt before, 

You'll never learn to turn away. 

Tragedy, 

Something is in the air tonight. 

Tragedy, 

It's reaching out for you. 

There's nothing you can do. 

Oh tragedy, 

You can't disguise. 

Running free, 

Running wild. 

Oh tragedy, 

It's in your eyes!

Tragedy, 

It's reaching out for you. 

There's nothing you can do.

Oh tragedy, 

It's in your eyes!

On the streets, 

A lonely child 

Plays for keeps 

For just a while.

Oh tragedy, 

It's in your eyes!
