[Verse] I bought a ticket on a train going nowhere Conductors grinning Said "Life ain't fair" The rails seemed crooked But they led me here Where the clock hands tremble Drunk on beer [Chorus] That's life Ain't it just a crooked melody Sometimes a whisper Sometimes a felony A dance in the dark with a blind referee That's life Just a laugh and a guarantee [Verse] The moon got tipsy Spilled light on the sea While I’m out fishing for what I can't see I caught a shadow But it slipped like sand Left me waltzing with ghosts on the land [Chorus] That's life Ain't it just a crooked melody Sometimes a whisper Sometimes a felony A dance in the dark with a blind referee That's life Just a laugh and a guarantee [Verse] Old man river gave me a wink Said "The drink's free Boy But the boat might sink" I paid the ferryman with a pocket of lies And drifted downstream under fractured skies [Bridge] Well The cards are marked But you still gotta play The joker's laughing He just might stay Hands hold promises that weren't meant to be Like catching smoke in a summer's breeze
