[00:22.588]Cruel cruel world, must I go on?
[00:28.371]Cruel cruel world, I'm moving on.
[00:33.138]I've been living too fast,
[00:36.165]I've been living too wrong.
[00:39.683]Cruel cruel world, I'm gone.
[00:44.206][00:44.678]
[00:44.966]This big old world sure got me running 'round.
[00:49.728]Heard a voice, that told me: "settle down."
[00:56.018]With the moonlight as my guide,
[00:58.529]And with this feeling deep inside,
[01:01.555]I know now that I'm homeward bound.
[01:07.329][01:06.805]
[01:07.834]As I wander through the pines,
[01:10.101]The whispers that tell,
[01:12.872]Of the many before me who tried and failed.
[01:18.646]Seeking fortune and ways to get to glory days,
[01:24.389]Looking for a place in this old world.
[01:30.173]
[01:30.931]Cruel cruel world, must I go on?
[01:36.207]Cruel cruel world, I'm moving on.
[01:41.245]I've been living too fast,
[01:44.001]I've been living too wrong.
[01:47.779]Cruel cruel world, I'm gone.
[01:51.801]
[01:52.302](Take it away.)
[02:14.430]
[02:15.950]Desert road,
[02:18.706]Desert plain,
[02:20.975]I have seen so much pain.
[02:26.503]Now I see into the eyes of a girl,
[02:32.036]No more, no more cruel world.
[02:37.833]
[02:38.088]On a dusty trail I saw a vapor light,
[02:43.623]Was it a mirage？ don't know but it seemed right.
[02:49.156]I felt mission, I felt trust,
[02:51.926]I knew then that I must,
[02:54.941]Go to her, away from this cruel world.
[02:59.974]
[03:00.979]Cruel cruel world, must I go on?
[03:06.770]Cruel cruel world, I'm moving on.
[03:11.797]I've been living too fast,
[03:14.814]I've been living too wrong.
[03:18.086]Cruel cruel world, I'm gone.

Cruel cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel cruel world, I'm moving on.
I've been living too fast,
I've been living too wrong.
Cruel cruel world, I'm gone.
This big old world sure got me running 'round.
Heard a voice, that told me: "settle down."
With the moonlight as my guide,
And with this feeling deep inside,
I know now that I'm homeward bound.
As I wander through the pines,
The whispers that tell,
Of the many before me who tried and failed.
Seeking fortune and ways to get to glory days,
Looking for a place in this old world.
Cruel cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel cruel world, I'm moving on.
I've been living too fast,
I've been living too wrong.
Cruel cruel world, I'm gone.
(Take it away.)
Desert road,
Desert plain,
I have seen so much pain.
Now I see into the eyes of a girl,
No more, no more cruel world.
On a dusty trail I saw a vapor light,
Was it a mirage？ don't know but it seemed right.
I felt mission, I felt trust,
I knew then that I must,
Go to her, away from this cruel world.
Cruel cruel world, must I go on?
Cruel cruel world, I'm moving on.
I've been living too fast,
I've been living too wrong.
Cruel cruel world, I'm gone.
