Maybe the start could show me how they burn with no concern of their fate Though their end is near, no worries no fears, they give and they radiate But all I really feel is this drive; a madness a sadness, all mixed up inside All mixed up inside What is this life, this life, this life, what is this life I wish I could keep all this knowledge deep in a whispering spirit That I learned from the kids, their wrinkles their grins, from the love that they live kindred But all I really feel is this drive; a madness a sadness, all mixed up inside All mixed up inside What is this life, this life, this life, what is this life Lately I can barely put up with myself; my mind's got me all tied up inside itself I have to find my own way; when it feels life is just one long day One long day What is this life, this life, this life, what is this life
