When Life Gets to the Bone

Even I could see the signs
Even I could see the signs

Here all you losers, all you whiners, all you moaners listen up
Here is a sad tale of a lucky man who ran clean out of luck
And he was like me, like me

Now it seems so distant but the instant that you stole my heart away
Is coming back to haunt me and tantalize and taunt me every day
That’s when life gets, life gets, life gets to the bone

Even I could see the signs
Even I could see the signs

Burn all your bridges, let your riches scatter out around the town
Taking care of business with the snakes and with the lizards all around
And they like me, they like me

Come all you vultures, all you parasites, you acolytes of greed
Picking at the carcass in the darkest before dawn hour of need
That’s when life gets, life gets, life gets to the bone

Even I could see the signs
Even I could see the signs
Even I could see the signs
Even I could see the signs
