Beck - Dear Life lyrics
[Beck - Dear Life lyrics]
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 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
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 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
