"Give Life" Lyrics

It's a hot one, leaning on the wall

Like a monkey practically swinging

From the doorknob

I am waiting to feel brave

To save face

To step outside all of these holes that you've made

If I cry

Hard enough

Long enough

Fast enough

It will disappear

I hope she looks like you but with innocence

With a smile and with a soul, with happiness

Laugh

Hard enough

Long enough

Loud enough

It will disappear

Let me give a little life

Just a little bit of life for love

Just a little bit of life

And breathe it up

I can cover results of the war

Hat hides the eye that you kissed with your fist

When you called me a whore

When you swallow

At the bottom of a glass of rum

You make me filthy angry

Make me 'fraid

Make me sorry and not know what for

Look

Hard enough

Long enough

Far enough

You will disappear

Give a little bit of life

Just a little bit of life for love

Just a little bit of life

And breathe it up

Just a little bit of life

Wanting naught but change

Just a little bit of life

And give life away

Bravely I remember nothing

When I'm being questioned about the "love," baby

I'm standing on the bruises that I'm hiding in my mind

Thinking nothing of them, darlin'

Just a little bit of life

Just a little bit of life for love

Give a little bit of life and breathe it up

Give a little life

Wanting naught but change

Give a little bit of life

Give life away
