  • You sang your swan song to the dogs
    'Cause they made mincemeat of the dreams you hung your hopes on
    So you cut it out, well your sins cost
    While money talks to your conscience, looking like a fool for love

    Dear life, I'm holding on
    Dear life, I'm holding on, uh
    How long must I wait
    Before the thrill is gone, uh

    You drove your Rolls into the swamp
    You stole away like a thief, reeling from the sticker shock
    Of the price they put upon your soul
    You buy it back from the burning ashes of the devil you know

    Dear life, I'm holding on
    Dear life, I'm holding on, uh
    How long must I wait
    Before the thrill is gone, uh

    Dear life, come and pick me up
    Dear life, I think the button's stuck
    Dear life, I think it's gone too far
    Dear life, please lower the bar
    Lower than the stars

    Dear life, I'm holding on
    Dear life, I'm holding on, uh
    How long must I wait
    Before the thrill is gone, uh Writer/s: BECK DAVID CAMPBELL, GREGORY KURSTIN
