Live Out The String

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)

Sometimes

(Could you get down on your knees?)

Sometimes baby

(You’d better get down on your knees)

And thank the whole wide universe of gods

For letting you

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 sometimes

(Could 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

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

Who knows if we have angels on our shoulders?

That night with the devil in the street

Who knows if it means we’ve 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)

(Get down on your knees)

And live out the string

Live out the string

(Get down on your knees)

(Get down on your knees)

Maybe life is curious to see what you would do

With the gift of being left alive
