Jim St. James

Lyrics

YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING FAST FOR SO LONG NOW, THAT IT'S GETTIN HARD TO EVEN TRACE YOUR STEPS. RUNNIN DOWN THAT CORPORATE AVENUE
WITH YOUR BEST ARMANI SUIT AND CIGARETTES. PIECE BY PIECE YOU CHIP IT OFF THE ROCK, DAY AFTER DAY FROM 9 TO 5, CLIMBIN' THE LADDER TOWARDS YOUR BIG SUCCESS, BUT BEFORE OR AFTER YOU MIGHT REALIZE THAT THERE'S

ONE LIFE, WE LIVE
IT'S A SOLID FACT THAT'S WHAT WE GET
I KNOW ITS A WILD RIDE, BUT DONT LET IT KICK YOU OFF BEFORE YOUR TIME
BEFORE YOUR TIME

JIMMY SPINS THOSE VEGAS WHEELS SO TIGHT THAT HE CAN'T TELL IF ITS DAY OR IF ITS NIGHT. HE NEEDS ANOTHER FIX- THE DEALER THROWS- AND THE CASH AND CARDS GO DOWN RIGHT WITH HIS SOUL. PARLAY THE MORTGAGE FOR ANOTHER CHANCE, TO WIN THAT 3 MIL MANSION IN THE SKY. CATCH A LOAN SHARK, PLACE ANOTHER BET, I HOPE BEFORE YOURE GONE YOU REALIZE THAT THERES...

ONE LIFE, WE LIVE
IT'S A SOLID FACT THAT'S WHAT WE GET
I KNOW ITS A WILD RIDE, BUT DONT LET IT KICK YOU OFF BEFORE YOUR TIME
BEFORE YOUR TIME

WEEKEND DOUBLES WEEKDAY OVERTIME
WHILE YOUR FAMILIY SITS ALONE
WE'RE MISSIN OUT ON ALL THATS GOOD IN LIFE AND THAT DOESNT HAVE TO BE THE WAY IT GOES! WE'VE GOT PEOPLE TOSSIN BOMBS AROUND LIKE STONES ONLY TO PLAY KING OF THE HILL. PLANTING FLAGS JUST TO GAIN SOME OIL, WITH NO REGARDS FOR WHO THEY KILL. WHAT WE NEED IS A MIRACLE
TO GET OUR HEADS IN CHECK WITH THE REAL DEAL. WE GOT THIS WHOLE WORLD SPINNIN' IN A FIRE AND THE MAN UPSTAIRS, I WONDER HOW HE FEELS

ONE LIFE, WE LIVE
IT'S A SOLID FACT THAT'S WHAT WE GET
I KNOW ITS A WILD RIDE, BUT DONT LET IT KICK YOU OFF BEFORE YOUR TIME
BEFORE YOUR TIME
