Pipe Dreams - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I read it all every word

And I still don't understand a thing

What had you heard?

What had you heard? Was it love?

Was it take another walk in the dark?

You'll never learn

I'd pray to God if there was heaven

But heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing

Just a yin and a yang

Or a couple of pipe dreams

And it all boils down to the same old pain

Whether you win or you lose

Isn't gonna change a single thing

I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind

I had been dreaming, but I didn't mind

I signed the line and the woman looked right through me

She didn't smile

I'd pray to God if there was heaven

But heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing

Just a yin and a yang

Or a couple of pipe dreams

And it all boils down to the same old pain

Whether you win or you lose

Isn't gonna change a single thing

I'd pray to God if there was heaven

But heaven seems so very far from here

And it all boils down to the same old thing

Just a yin and a yang

Or a couple of pipe dreams

And it all boils down to the same old pain

Whether you win or you lose

Isn't gonna change a single thing

And it all boils down to the same old fear

Just a link in a chain

Just a puppet on a string

And it all boils down to the same old fear

Whether you win or lose
