The Haberdashers - Such Is Life Lyrics

Smoke drifts up from a cigarette
On a rainy afternoon
A vaudeville tune stuck on repeat
Like some tragic old cartoon
A deck of cards and an ashtray
Forgotten glass of wine
Gleaming eyes from passersby
Just waiting to stand in line
"Such is life" the wise would say
I like to think the same
No matter if you want to play
We're all part of the game
We're all part of the game
A borrowed suit and a brief case
A wallet, watch, and tie
Stared with ease at the dying embers
Of his once most cherished life
Started out West to the coast
An old postcard in his mind
With not a cent to weigh him down
He headed on into the night singin
"Such is life" the wise would say
I like to think the same
No matter if you want to play
We're all part of the game
So pray if you can find the time
God knows we need that chance
Don't you kneel for too long (Don't you kneel for too long)
Don't you kneel for too long (Don't you kneel for too long)
Don't you kneel for too long
Or the devil will make you dance
"Such is life" the wise would say
I like to think the same
No matter if you want to play
We're all part of the game
So pray if you can find the time
God knows we need that chance
Don't you kneel for too long (Don't you kneel for too long)
Don't you kneel for too long (Don't you kneel for too long)
Don't you kneel for too long
Or the devil will make you dance
