Live (for my birthday)

making funny faces

You want to know the truth?

Enjoy yourself

Stop beating around the bush

Find somebody to love

The heart stops soon enough

and the blood grows iron poor

The calcium is gonna flow from your bones

You're gonna look old, really old

So what?

If there's joy in your heart

If there's love in your eyes

You'll survive and

Everyone will thrive

So throw away the alibis and

Reach your bloody emotional prime

Live the risk, laugh or cry

Dive in, the water's fine
