| So here we stand before the arches
|
| Voltage in the fragments of our bones
|
| Close your eyes, it just got started
|
| Feel this eureka find a home
|
| It’s a long shot letting life
|
| And you won’t get to live it twice
|
| Flamingos gone an awful tarry black
|
| (Flamingos, flamingos)
|
| And the things I thought I knew I wanted
|
| I’ve gone out for a smoke around the back
|
| You get one shot at this life
|
| Throw your weight behind the tide, ooh
|
| And I never wanna die but I will
|
| And I never wanna die but I will
|
| So here we are, a family
|
| And I can feel luck surrounding me, us
|
| So I ask the ocean, «Are we free?»
|
| And the waves simply reply, «No guarantees»
|
| It’s a long shot livid life
|
| And you’re right there in the eye
|
| Life |
