Dear Life

[Verse 1] You sang your swan song to the dogs ’Cause they made mincemeat of the dreams you hung your hopes on So you cut it out, well your sins cost While money talks to your conscience, looking like a fool for love [Chorus] Dear life, I’m holding on Dear life, I’m holding on How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone [Verse 2] You drove your Rolls into the swamp You stole away like a thief, reeling from the sticker shock Of the price they put upon your soul You buy it back from the burning ashes of the devil you know [Chorus] Dear life, I’m holding on Dear life, I’m holding on How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone [Bridge] Dear life, come and pick me up Dear life, I think the button’s stuck Dear life, I think it’s gone too far Dear life, please lower the bar Lower than the stars [Chorus] Dear life, I’m holding on Dear life, I’m holding on How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone
