Marc Cohn - Live Out The String Lyrics
Maybe life is curious to see what you would doWith the gift of being left aliveHow love, how giveSpread the higher purposeAnd cut through all the shuck and jiveIt's only natural, maybe superstitiousTo try and find the meaning in beating the oddsCause sometimes you gotta (get down on your knees)Sometime (could you get down on your knees)Sometimes baby (maybe get down on your knees)And thank the whole wide universe of God's for letting youÂ…Live out the stringA little longer boyRaise your voice and make a joyful noiseAin't no guarantee of anythingLive out the stringNow that a meteorite has fallen in the chairYou just got out of to answer the phoneWill you live every moment like it just might be the lastOr will you still just ***** and moanFate is kind, fate is cruel, fate is terminally coolIt's a random interruption in the middle of your grooveBut sometime (won't you get down on your knees)Sometime (get down on your knees)Sometimes baby (better get down on your knees)And find yourself a deeper groove, yeahÂ…Live out the stringA little longer boyRaise your voice and make a joyful noiseAin't no guarantee of anythingSo live out the string (the string)Who knows if we got angels on our shoulders (move on)Right now with the devil in the streetWho knows if it means we got more work to doBut hey baby, don't the air taste sweetHey baby, don't the air taste sweet(hey baby, don't the air taste sweet)Get down on your kneesGet down on your kneesLive out the stringLive out the string(yeah-ah, yeah-ah, yeah-ah)Maybe life is curious to see what you would doWith the gift of being left alive
