Don't Leave Your Life Too Long

I was walking one day through the big lights

Wondering when the world became so tired

Bottles of vodka flashed as the Coca-Cola sign shone

Like moonlight and I wondered

When the world beame so wired

Even the clearing of the streets

It was all tiled and in the corner stood a tree in a cage

And in the screen on the side of a skyscrpaer

Stood a war child nestled in amongts the stocks

The shares and the sports scores of the day

I thought, don't leave your life too long

It's gone before it's done if you hide away

I was travelling one day to find a small town

For I'd hear that it was far enough away

Arrived late in the night and there was no sound

I looked forward to the breaking of the day

With the sunrise I headed for the ocean

For its where I find the cleanest air to brewath

Every road down a factory had stolen

And the smoke it billowed out and blocked the sea

I thought, don't leave your life too long

It's gone before its done if you hide away

I thought, don't leave your life too long

It's gone before its done if you hide away

I was travelling one day down in Mexico

In towns where peoiploe purely work to eat

There's a shine in the eyes of those that let go

And that shine was like a song that sang to me

It said, don't leave your life too long

It's gone before its done if you hide away

I thought, don't leave your life too long

It's gone before its done if you hide away
