Temple of Low Men
by: Crowded HouseSeal my fate
I get your tongue in the mail
No one is wise
Until they see how it lies
Love this life
Don't wait till the next one comes
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
Maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Love this life, love this life
And so they threw you in jail
Whatever you've done
It was a million to one
And don't you just love this life?
When it's holding you down
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round
Turn round
Maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Love this life, love this life, gonna love
Here's something that you can do
Even if you think that I hate you
Stop your complaining leave me defenseless
When you love this life, gonna love this life, love this life
Though you'll never know why
Gonna love this life, gonna love
