As Karl Wallenda fell of his wire
Cause the wind took him by surprise
A woman gave birth to a baby
And then she fell into the night
Lines were crossed and things got lost
And I fell in love again for a while
Spring came early this year
But it was all in vain
What a beautiful mistake
We made
What a beautiful mistake
1978
The queen wrote her story
As the king fought for glory
And I just stumbled down my street
For what is a life but endless needs
I cannot seem to find much sleep
Loosen up, my dear old friend
Before the monsters come for you again
And drag you around like a circus horse
In a show that you don't know where it ends
What a beautiful mistake
We made
What a beautiful mistake
1978
Time don't really worry me anymore
Cause after all what is it that I've got
That cannot be replaced by a simple twist of faith
It's getting hard to love these days
What a beautiful mistake
We made
What a beautiful mistake
1978
Time don't really worry me anymore
Cause after all what is it that I've got
That cannot be replaced by a simple twist of faith
It's getting hard to love these days
