Low Life
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.
Lowlife - it's real
It's Friday night and you've got no steel
You can cry all you like
But the truth still hurts and the hurt still bites
And it all comes down to a very low high
No give - no take
You can't rely on a state of grace
You can cry all you like
But the pressure's on when the vein gets tight
And it's all because of these cynical times
Lowlife, Lowlife
No aim -no goal
No guiding light that can take control
You can cry all you like
But you still don't speak to a world outside
And it's all because of the sun in your eyes
Lowlife, Lowlife
You can have it all but not at all fill that hole
You can make this deal go underground
All the saints are praying hard for your soul
You can buy some wheels and run them down
No aim - no goal
No guiding light that can take control
And it all comes down to a very low life
Lowlife, Lowlife
