You were there when the wave did hit
At the second floor lift of the Hard Rock Casino
When all the chips floated up to the surface
Past all the prizes and apathetic employees
And then shorted out every slot machine
Where the retirees started to scream in their Sunday best
You and me stripped down in the street
Turned to salt in the sauna
Left nothing but a poem on the wall
It's your life
You were made for it
You were made for it
It wasn't made for anyone else
It's your life
You were made for it
You were made for it
It wasn't made for anyone else
Light a fire, you're the ambassador's son
So run run Rudolph, run until the fun runs out
Find a way to be calm and behave
Get a job shoveling hay in Scandinavian summers
And then save your luck
Delay the minute your time's up
Walk a little slower every morning on your way back home
Pass a tune that you already knew
Hear it hummed by commuters and Hungarian holy men, well
It's your life
You were made for it
You were made for it
It wasn't made for anyone else
It's your life
You were made for it
You were made for it
It wasn't made for anyone else
But we could leave in a time machine
And be right where we needed to be at any minute and then
Stow away with a dinosaur egg
From the golden age of reptilian mothers
Who smashed their teeth into a million pieces
For the paleontologist pleased to discover
A crack in the egg, another minute away
Til the museum awakes to a break from the inside out
It's your life
You were made for it
You were made for it
It wasn't made for anyone else
It's your life
You were made for it
You were made for it
It wasn't made for anyone else
