Lyrics Oingo Boingo – No One Lives Forever
Text:
You worry too much
You make yourself sad
You can’t change fate
But don’t feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can
It’s just like the weather
So quit complaining, brother…
No one lives forever!
It’s just like the weather
So quit complaining, brother…
No one lives forever!
Let’s have a party
There’s a full moon in the sky
It’s the hour of the wolf
And I don’t want to die
I’m so happy dancin’, while the grim reaper…
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can’t get me
(I’m as) clever as can be, and I’m very quick, but don’t forget:
We’ve only got so many tricks
No one lives forever!
You think you got it rough?
What about your darling doggy?
Ten short years
And he’s getting old and groggy
I don’t think it’s very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it’s all relative, my friend, ’cause
No one lives forever!
Let’s have a party
There’s a full moon in the sky
It’s the hour of the wolf and I
Don’t wanna die, (but)….
No one beats him at his game
For very long, but just the same
Who cares; there’s no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run—no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
‘Cause any second, it may end
And when it’s all been said and done…
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell
Why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust (’cause)…
No one, no one, no one…
No one lives forever!
Hey!
Who cares; there’s no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run—no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
‘Cause any second, it may end
And when it’s all been said and done…
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell
Why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust (’cause)…
No one, no one, no one…
No one lives forever!
Hey!
