Life wasn't so grand until you threw abone to me Life hasn't so bland since you lifted the phone for me I wasn't going to stand for those violent waves of the sea I was so reluctant to grab the silent waves of the heat And mistakes I was making That's life Frankie tried to tell ya, Jimmy introduced it to the scene That's life Sinatra's gonna spell it out Pursey' gonna wind up eating beans That's life, that's life Try doing to yourself, as you would do unto me (And don't bother faking) Supply screaming for the shelf That hangs above your sink (And don't bother undressing) Cries brewing on your helth Have gotten intoxicating (Crashing into my knees) Sties stewing on your stealth Will rot your well-being (Stopping well short of Beijing) That's life Frankie tried to tell ya, Jimmy introduced it to the scene That's life Sinatra's gonna spell it out Pursey' gonna wind up eating beans That's life, that's life I'm trailing you the crumbs Of a current white bread trapping I'm feeling every hump of a wide tread tire marking I'm mailing in the hump To a wife's tried embarking Save prayers for the dying And thoughts for the hemorrhaging And the atheists will sing
