No One Lives Forever Lyrics
You worry too much you make yourself sad
You can't change fate but don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can it's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i don't want to die
I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me (i'm as)
Clever as can be, and i'm very quick, but don't forget
No one lives forever!!!
You think you got it rough what about your darling doggy?
Ten short years and he's getting old and groggy
I don't think it's very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend 'cause
No one lives forever!!!
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i
Don't want to die (but) . . .
No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there's no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (hey!)
You can't change fate but don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can it's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!
It's the hour of the wolf and i don't want to die
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me (i'm as)
Clever as can be, and i'm very quick, but don't forget
No one lives forever!!!
Ten short years and he's getting old and groggy
I don't think it's very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend 'cause
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and i
Don't want to die (but) . . .
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there's no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (hey!)

I adore this song. It encourages us all to quit looking to the future for our source of happiness. No matter how cautious you are, and how well you take care of yourself, you will die. No one escapes that fate. So why worry about it? I could be hit by a bus when I leave work today, there's just no way to know. But why should I cower at home? Go out, have fun. I'm really trying to take the message of this song to heart. This is my only shot at life, there's no everlasting sparkly paradise waiting for me. It sucks that we can't live as long as redwoods, but our life span is a hell of a lot better than that of a mayfly.
its definatley, without a doubt, oingos best!
Oingo Boingo = Amazing.
I love this song, especially in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" :P
this song is amazing. it makes me so happy.
The lyrics to this one, I have to admit, are really, really hokey. Although the chorus, i suppose, is pretty cool.
"So have a toast, and down the cup And drink to bones that turn to dust"
Oingo seldom gets the credit it deserves, but those few lines are absolutely gorgeous - the pure sense of whimsy and wonder at the act of both living and dying being conveyed is very, very powerful.
Heh. I know someone to dedicate this song to XD, because she's always "cowering in her house", and just can't accept that " no one lives forever". She needs to "throw a party"... and tonight, there IS a full moon in the sky.
