For Your Life Lyrics

You said I was the only, With my lemon in your hand 

 Exhibition is your habit, Emotion second hand. 

 Had to pull away to save me, Maybe next time around 

 And she said, 'don't you want it? 

 Don't you want cocaine-cocaine-cocaine 

 Hadn't planned to, could not stand to try it, fry it, na na na yeah.

 

 Heard a cry for mercy, In the city of the damned 

 Oh oh babe, damned. Down in the pits you go no lower

 The next stop's underground. Oh, hello underground.

 Wine and roses ain't quite over, fate deals a losing hand

 And I said: didn't mean to... did not mean to fail 

 You didn't plan it, you over-ran it 

 

 You wanna do it, you wanna 

 You wanna do it when you wanna 

 You wanna do it, do it when you wanna 

 

 When you blow it, babe, You got to blow it right 

 Oh baby, if you fake it, mama, Baby, fake with all your might 

 When you fake it, mama, Please fake it right (for yourself babe)

 

 When you fake it baby,

 You're fakin' it for your life, for your life, for your life, for your life 

 Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna 

 Do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna 

 

 Oh, I can have you, baby, But I don't know what to do, yeah 

 Sometime, baby, nothin' I could do 

 On the balance of a crystal, Payin' through the nose 

 And when they couldn't resist you, I thought you'd go with the flow.

 

 And now your stage is empty, bring down the curtain, baby please. 

 Fold up your show 

 Hadn't planned to, Could not stand to fry in it

 Hadn't planned it, I over-ran it, (fryin) 

 For your life, For your life.
