I've got magical potions
To help me forget.
Medications in various nations have led to both fun and regret.
I've got cod liver oil
And fitness regimes.
Run like light and then spend every
Night simply smoking away the bad dreams.
All this disease could put you on your
Knees if the broke memories drag you round
So swing in the breeze because life guarantees that we all fall down.
I've broke bread with the brilliant
And occasional bores.
I've been given smiles I've held on to a
While and some frowns that I've felt for far more.
Hurt hearts and won joyrides
Lost too many friends.
The light that burns bright burns for half of
The night in a lifetime of misplaced weekends.
All of this junk to put rings round your
Trunk and a bus might send you underground.
So take every plunge and no need to skip lunch 'cos we all fall down.
Yeah we all fall down, down at the end.
Now and again, we do all these things to over extend our life
But you can depend you die at the end.
Yeah, jump in the deep end
You sink or you swim
You break or you bend.
On life, well you can depend, you die at the end.
God, I miss David Bowie
He was my paperweight.
And when he went back to Mars, man,
I swear that the stars looked so very different that day.
All of these stars that surround us with
Art, well you don't think they won't be around.
But the beat of our hearts won't slow down their depart
Cos we all fall down,
Yeah we all fall down, down at the end.
Now and again, we do all these things to over extend our life
But you can depend you die at the end.
Yeah, jump in the deep end
You sink or you swim
You break or you bend.
On life, well you can depend, you die at the end.
Yeah, life, now and again,
We do all these things to over extend our time
But you can depend you die at the end.
Yeah, jump in the deep end
You sink or you swim
You make do and mend.
Oh life, on this you depend, you die at the end.
