Chance Of A Lifetime

First of all, I'm not as down as you
And there's a better way to walk around these days
Well I don't believe in cool, I went to summer school
There was a man unknown
stripped himself down to the bone
And he said
"Hey, give me nothing, I'm from nowhere, And you don't know my name"
He doesn't exist
Guess I just missed
Chance of a lifetime
Romance and white wine
Easy living
A new beginning

Blind as wood
And there's not a bone in my body that's good
I watch the tanks roll by
Disguising themselves as the ambulance
Who will race to the show
Waving flowers and caskets, oh no
It's just another win for hope and a heart made of tin
If I were alive I would slow dance in the ghetto
And sleep beneath the street
Doesn't exist
Guess I just missed
Chance of a lifetime
Christmas and sweet pine
Easy living
A new beginning

Left all alone
Watching breakups and afternoon drama
I must have lost my mind
She was trapped on the bus with a kiss in her hand
And when the screams died down
Her lips were on fire
Spitting magic around
There was one more mile
It was long it was long
I would float on the thermals of laughter
High where I belong
It doesn't exist
Guess I just missed
Chance of a lifetime
Lemonade and sunshine
Easy living
It's just beginning
