[Verse 1]
Can you see the young and pretty, confident as cops?
Blooming, laughing in the shops

[Refrain]
'Til the sun turns black

[Verse 2]
Can you see the old and lonely walking through the park?
Pushing grocery carts

[Refrain]
'Til the sun turns black

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Can you see the corporate man? He's winning on the telephone
His possessions are his throne

[Refrain]
'Til the sun turns black

[Verse 4]
Can you see him in his lounger, watching TV in the dark?
Waiting for the spark
[Refrain]
'Til the sun turns black

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, we, oh whoa, oh whoa whoa
Ooh, oh, we, who are we?

[Verse 5]
Can you see the working classes trudging through their days?
Time goes slowly when you're only waiting

[Refrain]
'Til the sun turns black

[Verse 6]
Can you see the wise man simply living, loving quietly?
Every breath he takes, eternity

[Refrain]
'Til the sun turns black
