DEAR LIFE

you sang your swan song to the dogs as they made mincemeat of the dreams you hung your hopes on so you counted out what your sins cost while money talks to your conscience working like a fool for love Dear Life I'm holding on Dear Life I'm holding on How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone? you drove your Rolls into the swamp and stole away like a thief reeling from the sticker shock of the price they put upon your soul you'd buy it back from the burning ashes of the devil you know Dear Life I'm holding on Dear Life I'm holding on How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone? Dear Life come and pick me up Dear Life I think the button's stuck Dear Life I think it's gone too far Dear Life please lower the bar lower than the stars Dear Life I'm holding on Dear Life I'm holding on How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone?
