You Bet Your Life

(album: Dizzy Heights - 1996)

Get a life, get a job, did you know you were
The kind of slob who's in bed asleep all day
I used to be that way

Here and now, now and then
Although I never say out loud
Now and then, here and now
You know that there's a moment when

I could leave, get out now, get on
And roll the world is big and round
Anytime, anyday, I used to think that way

Oh, but I know it's true, she's got a hold on you
And then half your life, it just went sailing by

Her whole world's intoxicating me
All my senses are at sea

She's the kind of girl, she's got you in a whirl, it gets so complicated
Me, I'm not proud, I'll say now the girl is so frustrating, keeps me wishing, keeps me waiting

Lost in this world like a child all at sea
You see your life drifting by, but today's all you need

Here and now, now and then
Although I never say out loud
Now and then, here and now
You know that there's a moment when

Oh, I just know it's true, she's got a hold on you
Oh, and it feels so nice, this feels like paradise
You bet your life
