The Life Lyrics

The Life lyrics

It's getting late and something is waiting in the city tonight

This place is crazy and it makes me wanna fuck up my mind

I like the lights the trippy lights and all the pornographic stores

I light this thing as they complain about the junkies and the whores



When I was younge I dreamed I'd come here and I guess I did

Surivive the scum and I'd become someone but never did

These village slums I let become my life I guess I did

I'm just a bum pathetic scum thats just the way I live



This is the life

You want the life

NO



It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight

This place is amazing and it makes me wanna fucking get high

I love the way te buildings sway and all the garbage on the streets

The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep



I'm going farther than I ever thought far could be

By 21 I had a gun and ditched authority

At 22 I never knew the sights I would see 

At 24 I made the score that killed that part of me



This is the life

You want the life

NO
