Short Life Line

(álbum: Keep The Faith - 1972)

A fine looking woman
Walked up to me yesterday
She grabbed my palm
Here's what she had to say

Ooh you got a short life line
Ooh you ain't got much time
But your eyes'll never be blind
And you're gonna have a damn good time

Said yeah yeah mama
Short but sweet
Lot a places to see
Also people to meet

Ooh you got a short life line
Ooh you ain't got much time
But your eyes'll never be blind
And you're gonna have a damn good time

My life has already been full
So I can't complain
Yeah and after I'm dead
They'll remember my name

But mystic thoughts can only fly
To another plane
That's why when you look in my eyes
You think that I'm insane

Watch while we harness energy
From the multitudes
Then ride it bare-back
On our high energy tunes

Now that woman
No longer held my hand
She was feeling my body
She knew I'd understand

Ooh you got a short life line
Ooh you ain't got much time
But your eyes'll never be blind
And you're gonna have a damn good time
