I've lived in this city for most of my life
And I know it ain't pretty all of the time
But you know that it's better than living a lie
And it's OK to have dreams just don't kiss them goodbye
You won't see them again, no
Now it's time to say goodbye to those friends
I couldn't be with them at the end
I'll see them at that meeting place some other time
When I'm finished playing out my part in this pantomime
You won't see me again, no
Everybody's winning and
Everybody's losing and
No one gets to choose it and
No one wants to lose again
It's just a Sacred Life
Another Sacred Life
Oh-oh another waste of life
One more human life
Sometimes I see the spirits in my dreams
Living with the present ain't as easy as it seems
I don't want regrets; I don't want them when I die
And I loved it all
Everybody's winning and
Everybody's losing and
No one gets to choose it and
No one wants to lose again
It's just a Sacred Life
Another Sacred Life
Oh-oh another waste of life
One more human life
