NOAH AND THE WHALE lyrics : "Life Goes On"


Isa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips

She's got deep brown eyes
That've seen it all


Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Loney Tunes"
She went on almost anyone


From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray

She said :

[Chorus]

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way


Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case

But his best word was his letters home

His standard works of fiction about imaginary success

The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends

But to a writer, the truth is no big deal


From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights

He'd say

[Chorus]

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way


[Bridge]
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky

Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life


[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
(repeat)
