People say that life goes round in circles
people say that life goes round and round
but death will knock at your door
and pretty soon you'll lie dead on the floor
it's just a matter of time
They won't tell you the minute, won't tell you the time of day
they won't tell you how (they) won't tell you the way
there'll be no time for saying good-bye
and your friends will hopefully cry
it's just a matter of time
It might even happen while sleepin’ in your bed
and when you try to wake up you'll find yourself dead
your sell-by date is not written on your skin
it might run out when you are sure you are about to win
no more hanging round in bars
now you're on your way to the stars
it's just a matter of time
Life’s too short to waste precious time
life’s too short for drinking bad wine
ain’t it funny there are so many ways
to subtract from the sum of your days
it’s just a matter of time
Maybe you just met a girl and want to make her your wife
maybe you just fell in love with the love of your life
your sell-by date is not written on your skin
it might run out when you are sure you are about to win
then something goes awfully wrong
so you can't even finish your song
'cause all of a sudden you are gone
Oh what a big surprise, now you're feeling so damned atomized
so this was your sell-by date, but now that you've found out it's kind of too late
life was what happened while you were making plans
but did it make much sense?
you had no choice my friend, this is your journeys end
No more running round and round in circles
no more running round and round
something went awfully wrong
I couldn't even finish my song
'cause all of a sudden I was gone
....Life goes round in circles...
