Constantly Constantine Lyrics - Gino Vannelli

It's all a vicious game a tragic joke 

A pointless twist of fate 

The sun will rise the sun will set 

All for it's own resplendent sake 

But fools like you get mist eyed 

As you walk along the strand 

You claim your eyes can see eternity 

In a single grain of sand 

Seeking Heaven in the ruins waisting away 

Believing life is but a dream 

That's why the world kills you constantly 

Constantine 

Don't speak to me of love or tenderness 

Your notions of romance 

The moon will wax the moon will wane 

And there are those who would fall into a trance 

See the stars in your hallowed sky 

A million poets strong 

Not a bleeding word is ever heard 

And the stars keep shining on 

Yet there you sigh all mystified staring at a rose 

As if your eyes have really seen 

That's why the world kills you constantly 

Constantine 

Sooner or later 

You'll choose to be smart 

You'll see the world for what it is 

And not some sacred work of art 

Save yourself from certain hell 

Keep your head above your tender heart 

(Your tender heart) 

Seeking Heaven in the ruins wasting away 

Believing life is but a dream 

That's why the world kills you constantly 

Constantine 

Constantly Constantine 

Constantine it's killing you 

It's killing me, it's killing you 

Oh, God it's killing me 

Constantine
