C'est la Vie Lyrics

A pioneer for better words

And a college girl with vision blurred

Speak your truth and never lie

A fellow inmate prophesied

This wanderlust, my place to be

My mind is gone away but it can't leave

Oh the way he moves

The way he moves

It traps me, wraps me up

Oh tie me up and throw me out

Let the fishes get to me

On the way out

The only way out

He says"c'est la vie"

But he's knows he's taking over me

When he's not here

Oh I only sit and dream

Hate is still devotion

And blood is just a rose

I saw him in my bed that night

Just not the way I'd hoped

We laughed around the table

Two shots in every cup

I saw him try to make her smile

No drink could ever be quite strong enough

A soldier's wound, a widow's wife

A preacher's lust to agonise

The pain, the grief, the guilt are all dismembered

But which is mine or his

And which is hers

Oh the way they moved

The way they moved

It traps me, wraps me up

Oh tie me up and throw me out

I'll let the fishes get to me

On the way out

The only way out

He says"c'est la vie"

But he's knows he's taking over me

When he's not here

Oh I only sit and dream

Hate is still devotion

And blood is just a rose

I saw him in my bed that night

Just not the way I'd hoped

Oh the way they moved

The way they moved

It traps me, wraps me up

Oh tie me up and throw me out

Let the fishes get to me

On the way out

The only way out

He says"c'est la vie"

But oh it's taking over me

I thought he wasn't here

But oh I faintly heard her scream

These streets were made for murder

But my bed was meant for sleep

He said he wouldn't hurt her

Now a drop of blood is on my sheets

Only sorry when there's trouble"Put the body in the truck"

He grabbed his fathers shovel

Oh lord, what have I become?

From witness to accomplice

From thirty years to life

A girl, a friend, a daughter

All were taken overnight

Oh the way they moved

The way they moved

It traps me, wraps me up

Oh tie me up and throw me out

Let the fishes get to me

On the way out

The only way out
