When I See Pigs Fly

(albüm: From Mexico With Love - 2022)

Trying to get to sleep
You're solving a mystery
The answers are far away
And they'll never see the light of day

And the voice is getting loud
Self-pity and doubt
And part of you is proud
But you won't get over
But you try, but you try, but you try

Like something from an old Greek tragedy
Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood
One doesn't have a happy ending
But either way you got to play your part

But either way you got to play your part

So long as the sun exists
To cast shadows on ourselves
The shadow has all to tell
For which we have such a bitter need

To look at every turn
We're never gonna learn
It's always gonna hurt
And we won't get over
But we try, but we try, but we try

Like something from an old Greek tragedy
Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood
One doesn't have a happy ending
But either way you got to play your part

And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly
And try, but either way you got to play your part

Always to run away
You call it a holiday
You see your surroundings change
But then you feel such a bitter need

To look at your own worth
Can't blame it on the world
And no one but yourself
And you won't get over
But you try, but you try, but you try

Stop taking it out on all those around
You're letting it roll straight back down
You're trying to push that rock back up the hill

Like something from an old Greek tragedy
Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood
One doesn't have a happy ending
But either way you got to play your part

And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly
And try, but either way you got to play your part
And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly
And try, but either way you got to play your part

But either way you got to play your part
But either way you got to play your part
