Life, as we know it
Ain't what it was
This isn't living
I know this because
I lived like a champion
The envy of me
I only live vicariously

A moment in the sun
And a lifetime in the shade
A year full of glory
And an empty decade
Came out for an encore
But nobody stayed

I wish I was in Heaven
'Cause there is nothing left for me on Earth
I wish I was in Heaven
With you
A pretty view
'Cause there is nothing left for me on Earth

Life has its moments
Sadly, too fleet
Glimpses of beauty
Sat out a few
Good times are over, ???
Give me the number for death and tax (death and tax)

I live with the choices I shouldn't have made
The taste of euphoria continues to fade
The end is beginning, but I am not afraid

I wish I was in Heaven
'Cause there is nothing left for me on Earth
I wish I was in Heaven
With you
But did you?
'Cause there is nothing left for me on Earth

Well, oh well
Well, oh well
Well, oh well

I wish I was in Heaven
'Cause there is nothing left for me on Earth (oh well)
I wish I was in Heaven
With you
Pretty view (well, oh well)
Well
