It’s Only Life

[Verse 1]
Teenage mother walkin' down the highway
Carryin' her baby, dazed and lazy
Cars crash, radio stations wave goodbye

[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Star-crossed beauties, Hollywood hotels
Fates are sealed, the pages filled
No long kiss goodbye for girls next door
In the meantime, hometown streets
Are lined with roses, families pose
Someone's always waitin' there for you
From long ago

[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Hush, you sentimental queer
You know the walls have ears
Some of us may drown in cheer
And some may overdose on fear

[Verse 3]
Rewind, in your mind
Better times, unkind
All in all, you only fall behind
'Cause every mother cries, every baby dies
Every sun fades and rises
Careful as you let the world pass by

[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Outro]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's only life, it's only life
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
