Life's Like That LYRICS by Leo Dale

You rise in the morning perfectly still, and then the rush is on
Now you're caught up in a million thoughts and deep sleep is long gone
So you cast a spell upon a line and if intuition reels you in
At least you'll know, where to begin

Flying through the traffic on your way to work
It keeps running through your mind
It's just an endless list of thoughts
That you're sure you never signed
So you phone a friend to talk it out
They break the ice, you take the cue
At least you know, what gets you though

You have got three eyes, so use them
Inside you've got the seven sees, so cruise them
You're sitting on a spinning top, first look down, then look up
Never lose sight of the fact that life's like that

You take a break to catch your breath
And then you drop your guard
Now fate is centre stage
And you've got a walk on part
So you write a letter to yourself
Which you address - return to send
At least you know, how things with end

If you can't sleep throughout the week
Because of a dripping tap
Go and buy a box of darts
And thought them at a map
Then take a photo of yourself
On all the trips you've made this year
At least you'll know, what got you here

You have got three eyes, so use them
Inside you've got the seven sees, so cruise them
You're sitting on a spinning top, first look down, then look up
Never lose sight of the fact that life's like that
