That's life (that's life) That's what all the people say Riding high in April, shot down in May But I know, I know I'm gonna change their tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June ♪ That's life, that's what I say Shot up in April, strung out in May But I know it won't, be too soon When I'm back, I'm back on night train in June That's life (that's life), as funny as it may seem All of my friends, they get their kicks stompin' on my dreams But I don't let it get me down 'Cause this fucked up world keeps me spinning around I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate a poet, a pawn and a king I've been down and up over and out and I know one thing Time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life), I can't deny it I thought of quittin' lady, my heart ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd shoot me up a bag and then I'd fly I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate a poet, a pawn and a king I've been down and up over and out and I know one thing Time I find my self flat on my face Pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life), I have defied it Many times I have cut out but I haven't died yet And if there is nothing shakin' by this July I'm gonna shoot myself up with a speedball and die!
