Lyrics
C?est la Vie
WORDS AND MUSIC: KEVIN DUKE 1/2000
Sometimes I don?t know what the hell is going on
Sometimes I just can?t figure why, why, why
Sometimes the zest for living is so strong
Sometimes I feel like I should die
Sometimes the void inside just makes me disappear
Sometimes I really know I?m so very small
Sometimes the helplessness can lead to deadly fear
Sometimes I really hit the wall
CHORUS:
And it?s times like these when I?d rather be inside my head
And it?s times like these when I need the warmth of your soft bed
And it?s times like these when I wish I?d never done at all
But there?s no turning back it?s done and that?s that
C?est la vie
Sometimes apologies just cannot suffice
Sometimes words just seem to fail
Sometimes we march to drums of loaded dice
Sometimes we sleep on beds of nails
CHORUS
Sometimes our good deeds seem to change from white to black
Sometimes it?s better not to try
Sometimes it?s better just to stay on off the track
Sometimes we shouldn?t question why
CHORUS
