[Verse 1] I woke up on early evening and I knew I was alone Did the sun come up or did it rain again, I will never know I felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialled There was a message from my mother From about 7a.m. said I have forgotten what you sound like And I am wondering how you have been I cried myself to asleep back on the floor Unconscious in denial [Chorus] Life is just a little part of what the world will do To get it is point across it beats you till you are black & blue And decides just when you are in or when you are out Because when you are through you are through [Verse 2] There is a cafe around the corner from a home I call a house I sit and play Sudoku till I figure some sh** out I drink the day's first coffee and I smoke the last cigarette of my life And I am wondering out of all the crazy places that I have been Would it ever be as good as sitting here just with a friend? Where it is always understood it might be time, to switch the coffee to the wine [Chorus] Yeah, Yeah Whoaaaah, Ohhhh Whoaaaaahhhhhh Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh Oh [Verse 3] Janis sings to me just like she is sitting by my side And I wonder just how many times she sat like me and cried I have made it past the age of twenty-seven so there is no use in dying And my friends have asked the question: “Baby, will you be okay?” I want to tell them yes because I know that is what I should say But I have got no crystal ball and I cannot bring myself to lie and why should I? [Chorus] Hey, yeah - I think that Life is just a little part of what this world will do It is bring us to the brink and beats the sh** right out to you And decides just when you are in or when you are out Because when you are through you are through Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Life is just a little part of what the world will do It is brings us to the brink and beats the sh1t right out to you And decides just when you are in or when you are out When you are through you are through [Outro] Aye, Oh I guess I am through Mmmmm When you are through, you are through
