The battle is over. Here we all lie In a dry sea of Solo cups With the sun in our eyes. But it's one of those endings Where no one claps 'cause they're sure that there's more. What a great way to start the first day of the rest of my life I guess the show's going on So we pick up the pieces We dropped for a song And an ear-splitting headache That makes it hard to figure out which puzzle they're for. But I can leave this part out of the story I write. And there are worse ways to start the first day of the rest of my life Roommates, friends, lovers, quiet I'm coming to. I'm turning myself into something a little less promising, A little more useful. The battle is over We lost, but we'll live to call off the war. Don't that ceiling look high from the floor? Don't it hurt just to move As we shrink from the light? As it pierces our bodies and thaws out our hearts. What a great way to start the first day of the rest of The rest of my life

Ever since I was a child I loved to wander wild Through the bright city lights And find myself a life I could call my own It was always my ambition to see Piccadilly Ramble and roam around Soho, and Pimlico and Savile Row And walk down the Abbey Road So I saved all my money And packed up my clothes And I said goodbye to my friends and my folks back home And I left for a life of my own I left for a life on the road I'm a real hungry tyke And I know what I like And I know where I'm goin' To those bright city lights Oh, yeah, oh yeah This time I'm gonna get there I'm bound for a life on the road Give me life on the road I said life on the road When I arrived in Euston I was little more than a child And I didn't know then that the dives and the dens Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild Mama always told me The city ladies were bawdy and bold And so I searched night and day to catch a kissable lady But all that I caught was a cold 'Cause those stuck-up city ladies Didn't notice me walk by Now I've got holes in my shoes 'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night Well, I'm livin' the life that I chose Livin' my life on the road I said life on the road I want life on the road Life on the road I was standing with the punks in Praed Street When a muscle man came my way He said, "Hey, are you gay, can you come out and play?" And like a fool, I went and said, "Okay" Ever since I was knee high I thought the city was paved with gold But I've seen so many losers and down and out-boozers Who were tired of bein' bought and sold City women are a tease But I'd really love to please Now I've got blood shot eyes 'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night And it sure knocks you out on the road And I'm livin' my life on the road I said life on the road Life on the road I want life on the road One of these days, I wanna go home Visit my friends and see all the places that I used to know And say goodbye to a world that's too real Goodbye to a world that's forgotten how to feel And it's slowly usin' me And there's no security Sometimes I hate the road but it's the only life I know But I'm livin' the life that I chose So I'll live out my life on the road Give me life on the road I said life on the road I said life on the road Give me life on the road
