These are the best years of our lives - sweet and peaceful The best years of our lives - enchanted and fey Like the seeds we're sown, Like the seeds trampled - After the gardener did what he's paid to do, Now it is finally time... These are the best years of our lives - it's all that matters The best years of our lives - fragile and clean; Like a child, we're blessed; Like a child - spaced out; And may Lord have mercy on those, who invoke our displeas In these best years of our lives. And I'm coming from a different world; And I really dont know how it's done here; And I would honestly ask you to help me, babe, To work with me, trust in me, And cover my ass - and then I'll look away... These are the best years of our lives - and our captain's locked up; And his choir of angels waits for this city to fall. Before this sky, and them bells ringing, I say - I know how you feel, God, I know how you feel. If we knew our way out, we'd never be stuck here at all - These are the best years of our lives...
