  • Well, well, well I, found it's [my life]
    Down on all fives
    Let me crawl
    If I want a good dye, oh, my hair

    Time for decisions to be made
    Crack up in the sun, lose it in the shade

    Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, drone, time for this one to come home
    Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, die, time for this one to come alive
    And hold my life, until I'm ready to use it
    Hold my life because I just might lose it
    Because I just might lose it
    Because I just might lose it
    Because I just might lose it

    Well, well, well, anyone could tell, pass it off, a lucky shot
    Ooh, they do hate 'em, someday soon, face 'em
    Time for decisions to be made
    Crack up in the sun, lose it in the shade

    Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, drone, time for this one to come home
    Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, die, time for this one to come alive
    And hold my life until I'm ready to use it
    Hold my life because I just might lose it
    Because I just might lose it
    Because I just might lose it
    Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

    Just might, just might, just might
    We might crack up in the sun, or we'll lose it in the shade, oh

    Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, drone, time for this one to come home
    Razzle, dazzle, drazzle, die, time for this one to come alive
    Hold my life until I'm ready to use it
    Hold my life because I just might lose it
    Because I just might lose it

    Hold my life
    Get ready to hold my life
    Hold my, hold my, hold my, hold my, hold Writer/s: PAUL WESTERBERG
