AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Many Worlds Are Born Tonight (1998) - 07 - "Tragic"

Lyrics:

Tragic (6:09)

I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became

You have the look of ill fate about you
You and all your brothers too
And I reach out as if I contain the antidote
But of course I don't

I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became

Although we share pain and despair
Somehow you are predisposed to
Suffer the most

I see you because you are tragic
I'll look for you in the rain

[lyrics uncertain here]

The roots you wanted to grow
Will never take you know
Cause this is all just an exercise
And you're not alone

I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became

I see you because you're so tragic
And I need you for the same
(Reason)
There's a little bit of you in me
I'll look for you in the rain

I see you because you are tragic
And I need you for the same
There's a little bit of you in me
You can't escape what you became

I see you because you're so tragic
And I need you for the same
(Reason)
There's a little bit of you in me
I'll look for you in the rain
