Signs of 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.
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
Wait outside until it begins
Won't be the first ones in
Spend your life waiting in line
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
First kiss tastes like cigarettes
Dead man walking take your bets
Once again you lost your friends
Around and around again
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
Where are we going?
Who did you ask?
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
Where are we going?
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, sometimes Sunday
Love is hard, sex is easy
God in heaven, could you please me?
You think you invented life
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Still looking for signs of life
(Looking for signs of life)
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
Where are we going?
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
(Still looking)
Looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)
Still looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
