Yello - Life Is a Snowball

Copied!

Life is just a snowball
Waiting for a windfall
Fate's a cool virtuoso
When Lady Luck swings to vertigo

Don't you know that love is a many splintered thing
When your love ceases to be entertaining
So you wise up to the rhythm
And hold his heart for ransom

Say bye bye handsome
It's a cold, cold system
God bless Broadway
Applause is the worthiest cause

Life inside a snowball
Waiting for a curtain call
Better not lean on that highball
When the box office falls

We're all just clowns for hire
Walking on that high wire
Miming all desires
So sweetly inspired by yesterday's fire

Life is just a snowball
Who can say you have it all
Just look through the glass so clearly
Sounds and whispers calling "love you dearly"
And all these checkered lines and fatal lies
Disappear so sincerely
Chalk it up
