100 Days

Music & Lyrics: J. Himmelsbach

Gotta roll with the punches, ain't no free lunches walkin' into your life
Gotta hit all the high notes, ain't gettin by those people with the neon lights
Gotta grab on the handle, ain't gonna stand all day in the pouring rain
Gotta put on the showtime, ain't gettin no time to worry about a little pain

Gotta stand in the middle, take another little piece of the giant pie
Got a knack for disaster, makes you run faster though you never try and fly
Gotta get in on the action, no more standing back from anything you might have done
Gotta look into the problems, can't nobody solve 'em, all too busy having fun

Turning away
Turning to stone
Lead me astray
Leave me alone

Life is what the world believes
I'll be what I'll never be
Once I live another hundred days
Carry through I'll carry now
Both will carry on somehow
Once I live another hundred days

Take it under the chinstrap, gotta begin that dance every single day
Take a taste of the bassline, better not waste time gettin' goin' on your way
Take apart all the pieces, maybe the relief is waiting on the other side
Take a look at the bright star, maybe all your rights are seeking out a different mind

Turning to stone
Turning the page
Up on the throne
Up on the stage

Mirror mirror on the wall
Will I finally take the fall
Once I live another hundred days
And life is what the world defies
I'll slip underneath the lies
Once I live another hundred days

Life is what the world believes
I'll be what I'll never be
Once I live another hundred days
Carry through I'll carry now
Both will carry on somehow
Once I live another hundred days

Tiger tiger burning bright
Stalking through the jungle night
Being what you have to in a hundred different ways
Life is what the world ignores
You be mine and I'll be yours
Once I live another hundred -
Another hundred daaaaaayys......
