Ooh mama I want to live forever
The sign is out
The day begins again
I see sickness everywhere
You make the call
You close the lid, that's it
I'll be ink on the paper
in the morning air
Oh yeah
There's so many things I never tried
Today could be the day I die
And if they're wondering
what kind of guy I was
Will there be anything to say?
Ooh mama I want to live forever
To dodge the end of days
and drift away with a one-page spread
in your favourite rag
Well I'm hardly worth the notes
I fill with smoke
You took all my enemies
and made them glad
Again and again and again
Ooh mama I want to live forever
