You can live

Take the time, read the label take the time
There's blood on your heel
Take the time, to look through the glass
And don't forget what you look like

When you smile, you move the table
When you smile, the earth starts to shake
When we talk, you notice the same things as I do
Then we freak out

For you can live on the silver screen
For you can live on acres of land
For you can live on the QE2
But that won't change the fact
That the same fate comes to…..

Tow the line, get up early
Tow the line, you got bills to pay
In your mind, you're dancing on ice
But you'd never learnt to skate

Give a thought, caught in the ocean
Take the time, to add up the day
By those stripes, that I read about
I know everything's being dealt with

For you can live on the silver screen
For you can live on acres of land
For you can live on the QE2
But that won't change the fact
That the same fate comes to all
