Maybe life is curious to see what you would do
|
With the gift of being left alive
|
How love, how give
|
Spread the higher purpose
|
And cut through all the shuck and jive
|
It's only natural, maybe superstitious
|
To try and find the meaning in beating the odds
|
Cause sometimes you gotta (get down on your knees)
|
Sometime (could you get down on your knees)
|
Sometimes baby (maybe get down on your knees)
|
And thank the whole wide universe of God's for letting youA¡¦
|
|
Live out the string
|
A little longer boy
|
Raise your voice and make a joyful noise
|
Ain't no guarantee of anything
|
Live out the string
|
|
Now that a meteorite has fallen in the chair
|
You just got out of to answer the phone
|
Will you live every moment like it just might be the last
|
Or will you still just bitch and moan
|
Fate is kind, fate is cruel, fate is terminally cool
|
It's a random interruption in the middle of your groove
|
But sometime (won't you get down on your knees)
|
Sometime (get down on your knees)
|
Sometimes baby (better get down on your knees)
|
And find yourself a deeper groove, yeahA¡¦
|
|
Live out the string
|
A little longer boy
|
Raise your voice and make a joyful noise
|
Ain't no guarantee of anything
|
So live out the string (the string)
|
|
Who knows if we got angels on our shoulders (move on)
|
Right now with the devil in the street
|
Who knows if it means we got more work to do
|
But hey baby, don't the air taste sweet
|
Hey baby, don't the air taste sweet
|
(hey baby, don't the air taste sweet)
|
|
Get down on your knees
|
Get down on your knees
|
Live out the string
|
Live out the string
|
(yeah-ah, yeah-ah, yeah-ah)
|
|
Maybe life is curious to see what you would do
|
With the gift of being left alive
