Nothing is simple, nothing for sure So many problems, elusive cure We're on the limits, live day to day Too many dreams we keep just slip away You make me laugh you make me cry And if I live a lie I know love can find a way in this Black Comedy You build me up to knock me down And if I stay around I know love can find a way in this Black Comedy It's one step forward, then one step back This is the ritual dance that keeps our life on track But it's just survival on these city streets Of broken promises and jokes on you and me You make me laugh you make me cry And if I live a lie I know love can find a way in this Black Comedy You build me up to knock me down And if I stay around I know love can find a way in this Black Comedy Love will find a way in this Black Comedy Love will find a way in this Black Comedy Love will find a way in this Black Comedy Love will find a way
