Lyrics

Swing for 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.

Oh, true rider, fasten me

I saw a mystery, mystery

How you cast your reins aside,

and sidle up to me, up to me

Sweet obsession, devil's den

Lassos my blind eye

My blind eye, my blind eye

Oh, true rider, nothing's lost

Take me for a ride, for a ride
