You know it all too well
You and I we walked through hell
And back from the waves
Of the sea of pain
We danced in the pouring rain
But saner mornings found us aghast
Musing upon the days of our past.

Take it or leave it
That's the way that we were
Living it up
Like fallen angels on Earth
Take it or leave it
You'd better believe
A new star will shine
When we finally leave.

We feared no enemy
Peace was meant to be
Forever
And for evermore
The world seemed a place worth fighting for
But saner evenings found us in doubt.
What is it that we're all about?

Take it or leave it
That's the way that we were
Living it up
Like fallen angels on Earth
Take it or leave it
You'd better believe
A new star will shine
When we finally leave.

Take it or leave it
You'd better believe
Take it or leave it
That's the way
That's the way that we were.
