Marc Cohn - Live Out The String lyrics

Maybe life is curious to see what you would do With the gift of being left alive How love, how give Spread the higher purpose And cut through all the shuck and jive It's only natural, maybe superstitious To try and find the meaning in beating the odds Cause sometimes you gotta (get down on your knees) Sometime (could you get down on your knees) Sometimes baby (maybe get down on your knees) And thank the whole wide universe of God's for letting you Live out the string A little longer boy Raise your voice and make a joyful noise Ain't no guarantee of anything Live out the string Now that a meteorite has fallen in the chair You just got out of to answer the phone Will you live every moment like it just might be the last Or will you still just b**h and moan Fate is kind, fate is cruel, fate is terminally cool It's a random interruption in the middle of your groove But sometime (won't you get down on your knees) Sometime (get down on your knees) Sometimes baby (better get down on your knees) And find yourself a deeper groove, yeah Live out the string A little longer boy Raise your voice and make a joyful noise Ain't no guarantee of anything So live out the string (the string) Who knows if we got angels on our shoulders (move on) Right now with the devil in the street Who knows if it means we got more work to do But hey baby, don't the air taste sweet Hey baby, don't the air taste sweet (hey baby, don't the air taste sweet) Get down on your knees Get down on your knees Live out the string Live out the string (yeah-ah, yeah-ah, yeah-ah) Maybe life is curious to see what you would do With the gift of being left alive
