This Life

Hey hey hey eh eh eyy

Let me get straight to it

I've bit off more than I could chew

I felt the sting and slap of

Failure missed my due

Like a hard knife cutting through a slice

Of ego of ambition yeah

Put me off my mission

I've been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt

Taking this and that cause

I had so much hurt

I'm not plying you with liquor

For you tongue to get a flicker

I just need to tell my story

If you're drunk I'll get done quicker

Hey hey gotta keep the hope up

Gotta keep your eye on the prize

Hey hey gotta keep the highs up

I'm an optimist of the most dangerous kind

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life

Let me get straight to it

There's more explaining I could do

But I am here just for diversion

As are you

Don't mean to jump the gun

But we could have some fun

There's little sense in dishing

Since I've noticed you're not listening

I'm feeling fairly lucky

I've been surfing shadows of success

In my dreams

And yes I know my guard's down

But I don't mind it for you see

Hey hey gotta keep the hope up

Gotta keep your eye on the prize

Hey-hey gotta keep the highs up

I'm an optimist of the most dangerous kind

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life

This life this life this life

Hey hey hey eh eh eyy

Hey hey hey eh eh eyy

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life

There is more to this life

I must believe there is more to this life
