I think I'm God and some other shit, yeah
You know how I get when I'm in my head, yeah
Pink shadows in the basement, whoa
What's that pink shadow in the base-
 
Mama, I'm sorry, reality's boring
I cut it up, wash it all down with a forty
I probably won't snort it
My head is discarded
I try to ignore it, I try to ignore it
I'm searching for a drag, girl, you know the story
Girl, you know the story
 
Drugs and fucking money
I can hear the birds sing
Drugs and fucking money
Fucking up this whole thing
Drugs and fucking money
Only thing that I need
Drugs and fucking money, yeah
 
Yeah, drugs and fucking money
I can hear the birds sing
Drugs and fucking money
Fucking up this whole thing
Drugs and fucking money
Only thing that I need
Drugs and fucking money, yeah
Drugs and fuck-
 
Gold plated chain in my pocket
I could make it rain if I wanted to
She said, "You got drugs 'cause I want 'em", hell no
I told you that I ain't, got to stop it
 
Mama, I'm sorry, reality's boring
I cut it up, wash it all down with a forty
I probably won't snort it
My head is discarded
I try to ignore it, I try to ignore it
I'm searching for a drag, girl, you know the story
Girl, you know the story
 
Drugs and fucking money
I can hear the birds sing
Drugs and fucking money
Fucking up this whole thing
Drugs and fucking money
Only thing that I need
Drugs and fucking money
 
Yeah, drugs and fucking money
I can hear the birds sing
Drugs and fucking money
Fucking up this whole thing
Drugs and fucking money
Only thing that I need
Drugs and fucking money, yeah
Drugs and fucking
Damn, I love it
Maybe I should drop it, pick a different subject
Maybe it's deliberate if it's lacking substance
Baby, you still listen so I know you love it
I know you love it
 
Oh, I guess I could say some nice things
Or write about how good my life's been
I'm sure your parents wouldn't like me
These circumstances can be frightening
Guess I managed all your time, please
Balance addiction on a tight string
Money and drugs are all I think about
So I'ma drop this song and let the birds sing
 
Damn, I love it
Maybe I should drop it, pick a different subject
Maybe it's deliberate if it's lacking substance
Baby, you still listen so I know you love it
I know you love it.

Everything must change,
Nothing stays the same.
Everyone must change
Nothing stays the same.
 
The young become the old,
Mysteries do unfold.
'Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged.
 
There are not many things
In life you can be sure of.
Except
 
Rain comes from the clouds,
And sun lights up the sky,
And humming birds do fly.
 
Winter turns to spring.
Wounded heart will heal.
Never much too soon
Everything must change
 
The young become the old,
Mysteries do unfold.
'Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged.
 
There are not many things
In life you can be sure of.
Except
 
Rain comes from the clouds,
And sun lights up the sky,
And humming birds do fly.

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
 
Let us die young or let us live Forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
 
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madman
 
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
 
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
 
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side
 
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
And you'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes, I'll never break your heart
 
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
 
For better or worse, 'til death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
Ooh
 
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when (and when)
Just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all
 
And I swear (I swear)
By the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there (I'll be there)
 
And I swear (and I swear)
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
 
For better or worse 'til death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart (beat of my heart)
And I swear (oh yeah)
 
I swear (and I swear)
By the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there (I'll be there)
(And I swear) I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
For better or worse (better or worse)
'Til death do us part (oh no)
(I'll love you with) every single beat of my heart
(I swear) I swear
Whoa-oh, I swear.
