The Same Thing
[Verse 1]
Like a ring gone down the drain
Our love in sunlight, at evening, pain
Like vermin Roman sewers bring
Pain and love, oh yeah, are The Same Thing
Are The Same Thing ...
[Pre-Chorus]
In my opinion, we are the red birth mark
(The Same Thing)
From the old storybook, "Equal Light, Equal Dark"
(The Same Thing)
Now lets flip a coin to see now who's yin and who is yang
(The Same Thing)
It defies opinion whether they're The Same Thing
[Chorus]
Nothing in common; our blood, thicker than broth
We're cut from different sides of the same cloth
Our love in sunlight, our pain at evening
Have nothing in common, yet they're both The Same Thing
(The Same Thing)
[Verse 2]
The same street, the same address
The same white hair, the same black dress
The sameness from opposites cling
Pain and Love, oh yeah, are The Same Thing
Are The Same Thing ...
[Pre-Chorus]
In my opinion, a line is never crossed
(The Same Thing)
Until now, my inner feelings were always lost
(The Same Thing)
Through spirit or season, does the human voice sing?
(The Same Thing)
Death and opinion they are The Same Thing
[Chorus]
Nothing in common; our blood, thicker than broth
We're cut from different sides of the same cloth
Our love in sunlight, our pain at evening
Have nothing in common, yet they're both The Same Thing
[Harmonizing Interlude]
[Chorus]
Nothing in common; our blood, thicker than broth
We're cut from different sides of the same cloth
Our love in sunlight, our pain at evening
Have nothing in common, yet they're both The Same Thing
