fifty-five

out of the blue black and grey turned into white
and it was up to you, to change as cygnets do. right

It would be so much easier to become someone who is someone that you're not, but you never will

fiftyfive
fiftyfive
she's on the bright side -- fiftyfive
fiftyfive
she's fiftyfive
and there's a ray of sunlight - fiftyfive

first come, first serve, is everything you've heared for a while
but many who are first will be last, and the last ones first. right

cause it is so much easier said than done to become someone they are not
but you tried so hard

fiftyfive
fiftyfive
she's on the right lines -- fiftyfive
fiftyfive
she's fiftyfive
and there's a ray of sunlight - fiftyfive

now that she knows what she's missed
oh no she wouldn't give up all she is
now that she knows the past
she wouldn't give up everything she has
now that she knows as matters stand
oh no she wouldn't give in underhand

now that she knows who she is
oh no it's wrong that ignorance is bliss
now that she knows the past
she wouldn't give up everything she has
now that she knows as matters stand
oh no she wouldn't give in underhand

fiftyfive
fiftyfive
she's on the bright side -- fiftyfive
fiftyfive
she's fiftyfive
and there's a ray of sunlight -- fiftyfive
