Life is a temptress and she will never tempt you through her duplicity she will throw you a bone and take it before you can bite Leave you stranded and spent Wondering where she has gone And when she will return
Life, the leading lady Will dance around happiness And waltz with pain and defeat Taunting you with every 3 counts
She tires you And cheats you But claims it is all in good fun When her fun is what causes you to stumble and fall So please Lady Luck Mistress of all Bring the deadly necklace And the deceitful cure Bring me the peace I long for And bring an end to the thoughts And the voices That hold me captive Please spare me the encore And give me The last ovation
