[Verse 1]
I'm standing on my own two feet
Somewhere hanging in between
My life and the death of me
Fate doesn't leave us time to waste
Weaving through the human race
'Til we run out of air to breathe

[Chorus 1]
But no one's getting out alive
All the gold on earth, it won't buy time
So we might as well give up the fight
Live it up tonight
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive

[Verse 2]
Life, a beautiful and fragile thing
Floating in the galaxy
I'm gonna let it set me free
Now is all we really ever have
Open your eyes and don't look back
Now gimme something to believe

[Chorus 2]
Cause no one's getting out alive
All the gold on earth, it won't buy time
So we might as well give up the fight
Live it up tonight
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus 3]
So no one's getting out alive
All the gold on earth, it won't buy time
So we might as well give up the fight
Live it up tonight
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive
No one's getting out alive

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
