Lyric

Shall I tell you a funny story? One that’ll make you grin

If you listen to the end, the first drink is on me, my friend

I’m just not in the mood to go back home tonight

Stick around for a while, and help me feel alright

Let’s drink and sing under the neon glow

The night is just beginning, and we’ve got a long way to go

It’s a story about some fools, idiots through and through

The kind of thing that makes you roll your eyes, it’s true

They lost it all, hit the bottom, fell so very deep

Not a single ray of light in the company they keep

But they say they’re waiting for tomorrow’s wind to blow

They still believe—now isn't that a hell of a funny show?

Even if you wail and cry, or drown in your regret

This is the only life you’re ever gonna get

Just one single life, so don’t you ever forget!

Sing your favorite song, let the melody take flight

Laugh it all away, and toast to the velvet night

This chance encounter, call it fate or call it grace

We could talk until the sun shows its morning face

Let’s drink and sing, let the spirit start to flow

The night is just beginning, and we’ve got a long way to go

No matter how much you cry, no matter how you scream

No matter how you mourn for a broken, faded dream

This is the only life you’re ever gonna get

Just one single life, so don’t you ever forget!

Yeah, cry all you want, scream into the dark

But keep that little fire, keep that tiny spark

It’s our only life

Just one life

Cheers to the fools!
