That’s Life Alan Cumming

That's life
Oh, that's what people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I say—
That's life
And as funny as it seems
Some people get their kicks from steppin' on dreams
But I don't let them get me down
'Cause this ol' world keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know just one thing
Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
And no, I can't deny it
I've thought of quittin'
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
But if I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
