David counts his dimes and cents  
his parents’ money’s almost spent  
not much put aside for his rent   

a month ago he lost his job  
his wallet gave a quiet sob and 
since then everything is working against him 

Vacation dreams are a thing of the past  
don’t lean back, it can happen so fast   

poor Rose, a shipping clerk,  
she never missed a day of work
 her packages were always on time   

she saw the message late at night 
it struck her like a flash of light 
‘Miss Martin, we’ve got bad news for you’  

Mother earth, what’s the weather forecast?  
you never know, change can happen so fast   

I’m happy now 
but who knows what’s coming next?  
golden rain or autumn pain  
you never know what you will get

I guess I’m happy now
but who knows what’s coming next
 oh, it’s so easy to get lost 
It’s so easy to get lost in this world 

ah, It’s so easy to get lost in this world 
ah, ah, It’s so easy to get lost in this world 

Kelly works in Amsterdam  
she’s scared of days that start with M , says 
‘I know I shouldn’t complain’

  the day before she acts annoyed 
at night she wakes up, paranoid 
and  when she’s asleep she gets chased by her bosses 

 let me know when it’s over at last  
how on earth did this happen so fast? 

  I’m miserable
but who knows what’s coming next?  
golden rain or autumn pain  
you never know what you will get

  I guess I’m happy now
but who knows what’s coming next 
oh, it’s so easy to get lost  
it’s so easy to get lost in this world  

ah, It’s so easy to get lost in this world 
ah, ah, It’s so easy to get lost in this world
