Hold on to life, for in moments it can fade away

Last night, I roamed in San Francisco
Tomorrow, Shibuya is my home
I will be waiting in the darkness in the pouring rain
And always I'm alone

Walking the streets of New York City
Light years away from where I'm born
I study the faces of the people while I'm standing
In the shadows of their final dawn
 [bad word] You know that nothing's forever, it's just for today
Can't live for the future, forget yesterday
And hold on to life, for in moments it can fade away

Maybe I'm following too closely
Sometimes you feel you've had enough
Making the most of what you have today
Just hope and pray for those you really love
 [bad word] 
Nothing's forever
 [bad word] 
You know that nothing's forever, it's just for today
Can't live for the future, forget yesterday
Nothing from nothing is nothing, amen, so I say

Nothing's forever
Ashes to ashes
Nothing's forever
Ashes to ashes
Nothing's forever
Ashes to ashes
Nothing's forever
