"Capricorn"

Can't reach the moon now, can't turn the tide

The world looked different when God was on your side

Who builds the future? Do they care why?

I know you're tired of tryin'

Listen clearly, you don't have to try

Capricorn, the year that you were born

Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Sifting through centuries, for moments of your own

Alone and wounded but in my prime

I called the hospital, they didn't have the time

I'd seen it comin', it's no surprise

I know you're tired of tryin'

Listen clearly, you don't have to try

Capricorn, the year that you were born

Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

A hundred dollars on someone's dime

I looked for answers there, they weren't mine to find

Good days are comin', not just to die

I know you're tired of tryin'

Listen, baby, you don't have to try

Capricorn, the year that you were born

Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

Capricorn, the year that you were born

Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Too old for dying young, too young to live alone

Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
