(+) Dear Life,
You sang your swan song to the dogs
'cause they made mincemeat
Of the dreams you hung your hopes on
So you cut it out well your sins cost
While money talks to your conscience
Looking like a fool for love
Dear life I'm holding on
Dear life I'm holding on
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone
You drove your rolls into the swamp
You stole away like a thief
Reeling from the sticker shock
Of the price they put upon your soul
You buy it back from the burning ashes
Of the devil you know
Dear life I'm holding on
Dear life I'm holding on
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone
Dear life come and pick me up
Dear life I think the button's stuck
Dear life I think it's gone too far
Dear life please lower the bar
Lower than the stars
Dear life I'm holding on
Dear life I'm holding on
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone
