Diamond Dogs - Common Form of Life Lyrics

I'm walking empty streets where people used to be
And I don't know where to go
Feels like the end of the world and I'm the last to know
A bleak sunny day that soon will rain away
Just one in a row
There's nothing left for me to do

Do you remember how we used to feel
Forgotten memories of something that was real

I'm still looking for a common form of life
Small things that will make the future bright
Cos I can't live the way I live anymore
I'm still waiting for a common form of life
Cos the real world cuts me like a knife
And I'm not made to live in the shade, I need some more

It's all dull and grey and it won't go away even if we try
Not even a beautiful goodbye
I wanted to be strong but now my strength is gone
And I don't know what to say
That I could keep you safe and tell you it's ok
