Noah And The Whale - Life Goes On Lyrics

Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,
She's got deep brown eyes,
That've seen it all.

Working at a night club,
That was called The Avenue,
The bar men used to call her, "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes" She went down on almost anyone.

From the hard time living,
'til the Chelsea days,
From when her hair was sweet blonde,
'til the day it turned grey
She said :

[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend,
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.What you don't have now will come back again,
You've got heart and you go in your own way

Some people wear their history,
Like a map on their face,
And Joey was an artist,
Just living out of case.

But his best word was his letters home,
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.

From the hard time living,

To the sleepless nights,
And the black and blue body,
From the weekend fights
He'd say

[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend,
You've got heart and you go in your own way

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again,
You've got heart and you go in your own way

[Bridge]
On my last night on earth,
I won't look to the sky,
Just breathe in the air,
And blink in the light.

On my last night on earth,
I'll pay a high price,
To have no regrets, and be done with my life

[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense my friend,
You've got heart and you go in your own way

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again,
You've got heart and you go in your own way
(repeat)
