Lifetime

She's got her lover's soul

She lost her radio

She's got her memories

Her extremities

She's driving much too fast

She wants to make it last

She wrote a song for you

She calls it black and blue.



Ain't no way to live a lifetime

Ain't no way to live at all

Ain't no way to live a lifetime

Just ain't no way darlin' to live at all.



She's sick of being late

She knows she's second-rate

She wonders if you'll stay

And love her anyway

She's crawling back again

It's such a bitter end

She knows she don't belong

She screams a children's song.



Ain't no way to live a lifetime

Ain't no way to live at all

Ain't no way to live a lifetime

Just ain't no way, darlin' to live at all.



And the sun don't shine my way

And the moon don't make me dance

If you're listening, hear me pray

I'd give my hands for just a second chance

My plea is not in vain.



She lost her lover's soul

She lost her radio

She's got her memories

Her extremities

Just let that bad man go

She's sweating in the snow

No one to call her own

Don't call, the truth ain't home.



All alone, all alone...
