[Verse 1]
Tell me why you look the other way
I've been tired of being blind from staring at the sun
No cause for celebration tonight

[Chorus 1]
Okay, right, you win, but always remember
Don't say you've not heard, when you die, you're dead forever

[Verse 2]
Yes, sometimes, even monkeys fall from trees (Ooh-a-ah)
The die is cast, your mind's made up, we're going on our way
In my life this is happening to me

[Chorus 2]
You live what you learn, I'll beg, steal, or borrow
The thunder of hearts will echo tomorrow
Okay, right, you win, but always remember
I've said you've not heard, when you die, you're dead forever

[Bridge]
It's not much of a mystery
I need things sorta how they ought to be
And me down here on bended knee
Such sympathy is too much to ignore
[Guitar Solo]
A-ah, a-ah

[Verse 3]
I know a thing or two, well, more than three
I want it to be perfect, what a wish should be
No chance of celebration tonight

[Chorus 3]
You live what you learn, I'll beg, steal, or borrow
The thunder of hearts will echo tomorrow
Okay, right, you win, but always remember
I've said now you've heard, when you die, you're dead forever

[Outro]
Forever
