A Matter of Perspective

No One Lives Forever

by Oingo Boingo

You worry too much

You make yourself sad

You can't change fate

But don't feel so bad

Enjoy it while you can

It's just like the weather

So quit complaining brother

No one lives forever!! 

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky 

It's the hour of the wolf and I don't want to die 

I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper 

cuts, cuts, cuts 

But he can't get me

I'm as clever as can be, and I'm very quick,

But don't forget we've only got so many tricks

No one lives forever!!! 

You think you got it rough?

What about your darling doggy? 

Ten short years,

He's getting old and groggy 

I don't think it's very fair 

Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend;

No one lives forever!!! 

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky 

It's the hour of the wolf and I don't want to die

(But) No one beats him at his game 

For very long but just the same 

Who cares, there's no place safe to hide 

Nowhere to run--no time to cry 

So celebrate while you still can 

'Cause any second it may end. 

And when it's all been said and done . . . 

Better that you had some fun 

Instead of hiding in a shell,

Why make your life a living hell?

So have a toast, and down the cup

And drink to bones that turn to dust,

'Cause No one, no one, no one, no one . . .  . . . 

No one lives forever!!

(Hey!)
