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You’re the last in the list of the lost and withdrawn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.
