Place yourself upon the canvas
Where you belong
Where you are doesn't matter
Once you've closed the door.
Take yourself from out of frame
And make a vow
That your life will have mattered
Once you've closed the door.
Oh one, two, three, four, five
It just doesn't pay to be alive
See, the numbers don't add up
You spend your whole life down
Trying to get up
Stimulate your appetite
Focus your mind
Sit tight until daybreak
And launch for the open sea.
Your mode of living tries too hard
Do you understand?
When happy gods bring on hard times
You feel that you're made of sand.
Oh, One, two, three, four, five
It just doesn't pay to be alive
See, the numbers don't add up
You spend your whole life down
Trying to get up
Oh, one, two, three, four, five
It just doesn't pay to be alive
See, the numbers don't add up
You spend your whole life down
Trying to get up
Your whole life down
Trying to get up
And I'll keep on trying
To get up...
