That's Life

That's life (that's life)
 That's what all the people say
 Riding high in April, shot down in May
 But I know, I know I'm gonna change their tune
 When I'm back on top, back on top in June

 That's life, that's what I say
 Shot up in April, strung out in May
 But I know it won't, be too soon
 When I'm back, I'm back on night train in June
 That's life (that's life), as funny as it may seem
 All of my friends, they get their kicks stompin' on my dreams
 But I don't let it get me down
 'Cause this fucked up world keeps me spinning around
 I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate a poet, a pawn and a king
 I've been down and up over and out and I know one thing
 Time I find myself flat on my face
 I pick myself up and get back in the race
 That's life (that's life), I can't deny it
 I thought of quittin' lady, my heart ain't gonna buy it
 And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
 I'd shoot me up a bag and then I'd fly
 I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate a poet, a pawn and a king
 I've been down and up over and out and I know one thing
 Time I find my self flat on my face
 Pick myself up and get back in the race
 That's life (that's life), I have defied it
 Many times I have cut out but I haven't died yet
 And if there is nothing shakin' by this July
 I'm gonna shoot myself up with a speedball and die!
