Lyrics

What’s Life About - Parissa Bouas

You wear black on your head now
and black on your shoes
Black casts its shadow
upon your sweet muse
But you better not struggle
in case you will lose
What you have left of your intention

You say this sorrow’s
the meanest pain that you’ve known
It’s so hard to accept
that we’ve all got to go
‘cos being without you and living alone’s not so easy in the beginning

In the night all the windows
are foggy and misted
And you find that your mind
is all bitter and twisted
With your black shoes shining,
polished and spitted
You start dancing without any music
And the tune
is a hymn from a time in your childhood
And you’re legs feel like lead
they get stuck in the carpet
And it’s then that you realise
you’re not gonna make it
The fire’s gone out in the fireplace

Oh, What’s life about?
What’s all this living?
A bell simply tolls
and you’re dead buried and withering
Oh, What’s life about? What’s life about?
What’s life about? What’s life about?
What’s life about? What’s all this living?
A bell simply tolls
and you’re dead buried and withering
Oh, What’s life about? What’s life about? What’s life about? What’s life about?
What’s life about? What’s life about?
