With these words we speak of love It's hard for us to end It's all a fallacy That people do pretend The changes that I see I tremble and I shake We're down in history For only one mistake So far so good So far so good Twentieth century Sole survival So far so good No neighbourhood I can't escape your fire I won't be far away Don't worry about the night And I will take away The trouble in your life When danger follows It will take you by surprise No desert island You can run to when you hide So far so good... It's such a tragedy To fight for what we cannot win And all our golden days Are gone forever So far so good...
