To Live For Today

You’re the last in the list of the lost and withdrawn Once you reveled with friends, now you’re drinking alone Still you can think and dance, you can feel, sleep and pray And whatever you do, it’s the same beaten way You’ve been everywhere round, you spoke out every word They did talk about you when you couldn’t have heard You knew that they laugh, and you laughed in return Till you have to find out that you’re left on your own Now you’re light years away in the land of the damned There’s no Aldebaran wine bar you could attend You’ve no time for regrets though, you know it makes sense To live for today despite countless expense.
