I'm taking payment this time

I put my gold on the line

The crowd keeps singing that nothing lasts forever

It's so fine

Yeah, that's so fine

I hate the dollars and dimes

I told 'em put out the lights

My folks keep saying that nothing lasts forever

It's so fine

Yeah, it's so fine

The sun is beaming, I'm sticking to the leather

I must be dreaming, there must be something better

Give it some meaning, nothing lasts forever

It's alright

Yeah, it's alright

I made the most of my time

I forced it so it would rhyme

My soul kept saying

"This can't last forever"

He's so right

Yeah, he's so right

Well, I got paid in phrases and lines

And I stayed awake most the time

I said a prayer, but keep it up in heaven

That's so fine

Yeah, that's so fine

The sun is beaming, I'm sticking to the leather

I must be dreaming, there must be something better (better)

Give it some meaning, nothing lasts forever

It's alright

Yeah, it's alright

The sun is beaming, I'm sticking to the leather

I must be dreaming, there must be something better (better)

Give it some meaning, nothing lasts forever

It's alright

Yeah, it's alright

The sun is beaming, I'm sticking to the leather

I must be dreaming, there must be something better (better)

Give it some meaning, nothing lasts forever

It's alright

Yeah, it's alright
