Lyrics
C'est La Vie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stepped off a chair so he could learn to let loose
Learn to let loose before the pendulum wore off
And his final sound a gurgle and a cough
And his final words: The pendulum wore off
Stepped off a building to find concrete evidence
Concrete evidence that he'd ever make an impact
Fiction splattered into fact
And his fiction splattered into another sidewalk painting on display
Stepped off a bridge so he could make a splash
To make a splash he had to flounder like a fish out of water
Another lamb that chose the slaughter
Stepped off a chair so he could learn to let loose
Learn to let loose before the pendulum wore off
And his final sound
Stepped off a platform and briefly made
Yea' you briefly made the news
Made the news and made the trains run fifteen minutes late
Oh! What a price to pay, the trains run fifteen minutes late
Oh! What a price to pay to be the author of your fate
The trains were fifteen minutes late
To be the author of your fate
The trains were fifteen minutes late
To be the author of your fate
C'est la vie!
A drooling old bitch and a house full of lies
C'est la vie!
The little things that kill you make you glad to be alive
C'est la vie!
Disease in your genes and ocean levels on the rise
C'est la vie!
Sing a song of living before everybody dies
