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

Dear life, I´m holding on
Dear life, I´m holding on
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone

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

Dear life, I´m holding on
Dear life, I´m holding on
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone

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

Dear life, I´m holding on
Dear life, I´m holding on
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone
