For there are brighter sides to life
Am I still ill?
Or does the mind rule the body?
Am I still ill?
Does the body rule the mind
Oh, am I still ill?
I dunno
Oh, ask me why and I'll die
But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
Under the iron bridge we kissed
I dunno
And if you must go to work tomorrow
And although I ended up with sore lips
No, it wasn't like those days

Ask me why and I'll die
But not very often
Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother

But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
No, we cannot cling to those dreams
It just wasn't like the old days anymore

Oh, am I still ill?
Or does the mind rule the body?
And I should know because I've seen them
Under the iron bridge we kissed

And although I ended up with sore lips
Does the body rule the mind
Oh, ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
