And everybody knows how to house the sin
If your own ghost comes around, then you'll let him in
You can lose your control, just in a trice
From the path of virtue to ugly vice
And all that you got, all that you got is fadin'
And all that you do, all that you do is waitin'
And your life is slippin' away
Oh, it all comes in the detail, the devils and the Gods
Only a small step to fail against all the odds
Why would somebody cross, across these lines?
When even a blind man could see the signs
So all that you got, all that you got is fadin'
Oh, and all that you do, all that you do is waitin'
And your life is slippin' away
Oh-oh, oh-oh, is fadin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh, and your life is slippin' away
And if you hold your virtue
Your virtue
Neither foes nor friends can ever hurt you
Can hurt you
And if you indulge in the vice
You will have to pay the price
So what you take can be healthy or not
Sometimes it's hard to choose what you ought
Does a life without sin make any sense?
Sometimes we need to be vicious to keep the suspense
And all that you got, all that you got is fadin'
And all that you do, all that you do is waitin'
And all that you got, all that you got is fadin'
Oh, and all that you do, all that you do is waitin'
And your life is slippin' away
Oh-oh, oh-oh, is fadin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh, and your life is slippin' away
Yeah, all that you got, all that you got is fadin'
Oh, and all that you do, all that you do is waitin'
And your life is slippin' away
