LYRICS: ******************************************************* When the stars have gone forever And planets are turned into dust It's a good to stay to lay in the haze In the past of all the answer In music and drinking and lust Waiting for the end and counting the days But I want to find an answer So what if my terror dies? And I want to find an answer I Look in your eyes Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer When the skies are dark And winter has hidden the city in snow I remember summer's not far away And it seems the days are shorter And hours are passing so slow It's a nice escape to roll in the hay All I want to find an answer What am i turn or dice All I want to find an answer Looking your eyes Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you hold the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer Why are we here? Maybe you know the answer *******************************************************
