I'm living in a darkened room
Where all the lights are low
Smokey, poky
And I've been around too long
It's easier to cry
When you've forgotten how to laugh
And when they tried to warn me
Well they didn't know the half

Live now play later
Come inside and shut the door
I don't care if you're rich or poor
Live now play later
You're always welcome that's for sure
Lapping it up, you'll be back for more

I'm working after hours
Watching strangers come and go
Nothings' ever easy
But I'm putting on a show
All I wanna do
Is be around this time next year
My life has been a non-event
I'm getting outta here

Live now play later
Come inside and shut the door
I don't care if you're rich or poor
Live now play later
You're always welcome that's for sure
Lapping it up, you'll be back for more

Live now play later
Come inside and shut the door
I don't care if you're rich or poor
Live now play later
You're always welcome that's for sure
Lapping it up, you'll be back for more

Live now play later
Live now play later

Live now play later
Come inside and shut the door
I don't care if you're rich or poor
Live now play later
You're always welcome that's for sure
Lapping it up, you'll be back for more
