Even I could see the signs Even I could see the signs Here all you losers, all you whiners, all you moaners listen up Here is a sad tale of a lucky man who ran clean out of luck And he was like me, like me Now it seems so distant but the instant that you stole my heart away Is coming back to haunt me and tantalize and taunt me every day That's when life gets, life gets, life gets to the bone Even I could see the signs Even I could see the signs Burn all your bridges, let your riches scatter out around the town Taking care of business with the Snakes and with the lizards all around And they like me, they like me Come all you vultures, all you parasites, you acolytes of greed Picking at the carcass in the darkest before dawn hour of need That's when life gets, life gets, life gets to the bone Even I could see the signs Even I could see the signs Even I could see the signs Even I could see the signs
