Born in the year of the rat bastard
Under the sign of the man
With the overplayed hand
Who kept moving the family
Further and further west
I'm trying to outrun the past
Just like all the rest
Do you wanna live forever?
Do you wanna be alone?
There's no such thing as fair
That's just the way it goes
A woman of 100 years, when asked,
"What is your secret," at long last
She said, "I never got married and I still love to dance"
Then she blew out her candles
And shrugged off the past and said
"I don't wanna live forever
but I don't wanna die alone
and there's no such thing as fear
oh, what a mighty illusion we've been sold
but we all have our cross to bear
and a row to hoe.
But what do I know
I'm just sitting here
after all this time
and all these years
what do I know."
I don't wanna live forever
But I don't wanna be alone
There's no more time to spare
That's just the way it goes
