Ellis Beggs & Howard

Songtekst

Well, Mary's been-a-livin' on the second floor
Now it's been three months
She can't pay the rent no more

She goes to work early in the morning
The lift don't work
No, the lift don't work no more

Life
Ain't nothing but a bubble
Life
Ain't nothing but a bubble

I wash my clothes in muddy waters
I lay myself on a plate to dry for you, baby
I feel the pain, the first incision
Baby, don't you ask me why

Life
Ain't nothing but a bubble
Life
Ain't nothing but trouble

Never mind if you suffer from a bleeding heart
Ain't nothing in the world gonna tear you apart
(Life)

I wrap my wings in cellophane afraid that I may fly away again
Big bubbles, no troubles

You can't go walking in the park after dark
Afraid there'll be a man with a bite bigger than his bark
No, no

You can't go walking in the park in the dark
Afraid there'll be a man with a bite bigger than his bark

I wash my clothes in muddy waters
I lay myself on a plate to dry for you, baby
I feel the pain, the first incision
Baby, don't you ask me why

Life
Ain't nothing but a bubble
Life
Ain't nothing but a bubble

Life
Ain't nothing but a bubble
