Another Day Lyrics - Savatage

Times were changing 

eighteen years and fading 

ain't a lot of time left to be a star 

On an island 

All alone and dying 

Walk upon the water 

but you won't get far 

Dreams and visions 

tied into decisions 

saw you on a postcard 

from the other side 

Hope and glitter 

Never feeling bitter 

Walk upon the water 

Just to be your bride 

Don't tell me now 

that there is nothing more 

there is a how 

just like there is a door 

and if there's not to be another way 

you tell me why 

Why 

Why 

Stay and follow 

if the words are hollow 

gotta' go along 

cause it's all you got 

Each day earn them 

turn around and burn them 

think your fitting in 

but you hope you're not 

Neatly drowning 

Every drink your downing 

if you drink enough 

You'll forget the game 

Each illusion 

Wrapped in absolution 

live your life in weekends 

but it's not the same 

Don't tell me now 

that there is nothing more 

there is a how 

just like there is a door 

and if there's not to be another way 

you tell me why 

Why 

Why 

Why 

And as he stood there cursing fate 

for making life so hard 

it seemed that fate had listened 

for she dealt another card 

For arriving in the harbour 

silhouetted against the sky 

was a ship bound for america 

and her name, "maersk dubai" 

And so when no one else was looking 

and the ship was safely moored 

he waited for his moment 

then he quickly snuck on board 

Then he found himself a hiding place 

between two crates of iron ware 

and as for distant america 

in his mind he was already there 

But what he was unaware of 

as they sailed away from shore 

was that there were other stowaways 

and he was one of four 

And meanwhile the old sailor 

had walked right past that pier 

while still conversing with the ocean 

on the strengths of his idea 

And as he walked he came upon 

a youth he thought asleep 

but the ocean said that he was not 

and brushed a wave against his feet 

And when the young man didn't stir 

but lay quite still instead 

the sailor took a closer look 

and saw that he was dead 

And all around the body 

was something he had never seen 

little cellophane packages 

marked "blackjack guillotine" 

And so he asked the ocean 

what these strange packets were 

And she answered they held the heroin 

That in his blood the youth had stirred 

And it is certainly a sign 

that things have gotten out of hand 

when one can purchase ones own death 

and choose it by the brand
