Live Out The String Lyrics - Join The Parade - Marc Cohn

Maybe life is curious to see what you would do 

With the gift of being left alive 

How love, how give, spread the higher purpose 

And cut through all the shuck and jive 

Its only natural, maybe superstitious 

To try and find the meaning in beating the odds 

'Cause sometimes you gotta 

(Get down on your knees) 

Sometime 

(Could you get down on your knees?) 

Sometimes baby 

(Maybe get down on your knees) 

And thank the whole wide universe of Gods for letting you 

Live out the string a little longer boy 

Raise your voice and make a joyful noise 

Aint no guarantee of anything 

Live out the string 

Now that a meteorite has fallen in the chair 

You just got out of to answer the phone 

Will you live every moment like it just might be the last 

Or will you still just bitch and moan? 

Fate is kind, fate is cruel, fate is terminally cool 

Its a random interruption in the middle of your groove 

But sometime 

(Wont you get down on your knees?) 

Sometime 

(Get down on your knees) 

Sometimes baby 

(Better get down on your knees) 

And find yourself a deeper groove, yeah 

Live out the string a little longer boy 

Raise your voice and make a joyful noise 

Aint no guarantee of anything 

So live out the string, the string 

Who knows if we got angels on our shoulders 

(Move on) 

Right now with the devil in the street 

Who knows if it means we got more work to do 

But hey baby, dont the air taste sweet? 

Hey baby, dont the air taste sweet? 

Hey baby, dont the air taste sweet? 

Get down on your knees 

Get down on your knees 

Live out the string 

Live out the string 

Get down on your knees 

Get down on your knees 

Get down on your knees 

Get down on your knees 

Maybe life is curious to see what you would do 

With the gift of being left alive
