Eugene)I've lived my lifeon the edge of a knife
And I can't give it up.(
Frances)
In the fast lane of misery and pain
And I can't give it up.(
Eugene)I've had a good timeon the weeds and the wine
And I can't give it up.(
Frances)I've been up, been down,below and above ground,
And I can't give it up.(both)
And I can't give it up.(guitar)(
Eugene)
Better under the tablethan under the ground,
And I can't give it up.(
Frances)I lack what it take,but my life's a mistake,
And I can't give it up.(
Eugene)
It all went wrongthe day I was born,
And I can't give it up.(
Frances)I've tried to invest,but I was a mess.
And I can't give it up.(both)
And I can't give it up.(guitar piece)(
Eugene)
It's hard to refusewhen you've nothing to lose,
And I can't give it up.(
Frances)I need to drink more,
My life's such a bore,
And I can't give it up.(
Eugene)I've had my filland I've made my will.
And I can't give it up.(
Frances)I drink all I can'cause it makes me a man,
And I can't give it up.(both)
And I can't give it up.
