When you're troubled and you've spent what you have left.
All your money to that old fortune teller.
And you champion that you're the victim of theft.
Come and touch the jaws of life.

And you claim to have seen the invasion.
But no one would listen to your lectures.
Because you dabbled with grass on occasion.
Come and touch the jaws of life.

Now you sit down to write your debut novel.
The past hardships of your life need reviewed.
You drop down on your knees and start to grovel.
Come and touch the jaws of life.

You think the conflicts in minds needs divorcing.
You don't want to face up to an opponent.
And the transcripts of your words needs enforcing.
Come and touch the jaws of life.

Look around and find someone you can lean on.
But they don't want to live their lives with a fool.
By the time you look up they've all gone.
Come and touch the jaws of life.
