lyrics

Jack's not the kind of guy
To let his folks sit idly by
Or let their minds roam to the sky.

And Maura's not the kind of dame
To let her mind stray from the game
She just tries to keep her life the same.

Is it just another world?
Is it just another job?

Jack meets Maura at the bar
Another week in the jar
I doubt there'll be that many more.

Jack is sick, Maura's old
This cautious tale has been retold
Ever since mankind broke the mold.

Is it just another world?
Is it just another life?

A silent grave where Jack's bones lie
Maura finds it hard to cry
She just turns; doesn't say goodbye.

She thinks its just another world
Thinks Jack was just another guy.

Is it just another world?
Is it just another day?
