C'est La Vie

Stepped off a chair so he could learn to let loose

Learn to let loose before the pendulum wore off

In his final sound a gurgle and a cough

In his final words the pendulum wore off

Stepped off a building to find some concrete evidence

Concrete evidence that he'd ever make an impact

Fiction splattered into...

Fiction splattered into fact



And his fiction splattered into another sidewalk painting on display

Stepped off a bridge so he could make a splash

To make a splash he had to flounder like a fish out of water

Another lamb that chose the slaughter

Stepped off a chair so he could learn to let loose

Learn to let loose before the pendulum wore off

And his final sound...



Stepped off the platform and he briefly made,

Yeah, he briefly made the news

It made the news and he made the trains run fifteen minutes late

Oh, what a price to pay... the trains were fifteen minutes late

Oh, what a price to pay... to be the author of your fate

The trains were fifteen minutes late (to be the author of your fate)

The trains were fifteen minutes late (to be the author of your fate)



C'est la vie!

A drooling old b*tch and a house full of lies

C'est la vie!

The little things that kill you make you glad to be alive

C'est la vie!

Disease in your genes and ocean levels on the rise

C'est la vie!

Sing a song of living, before everybody dies!
