Will Varley As for My Soul song lyrics

Come let's light a fire

Drink a beer and sing a song

We'll be dead before we know it

We don't have very long

As the world outside collapses

and confuses right and wrong

Light a fire

Drink a beer...

Sing a song

For many long years we've scrubbed these decks and walked these restless streets

We had home on our minds

We had blisters on our feet

And we sung our songs of crooked words

to everyone we meet

From the cliffs of Hayle in Cornwall

to the cities of concrete.

And that road ahead just stretches out

so long, oh so long!

Light a fire

Drink a beer

Sing a song

Our friends they are all bartenders

Our heroes are all dead

We got our guitars for company

and some sofa for a bed

You won't hear our songs on television

We never get reviewed

We just do our bad Dylan impressions in the upstairs rooms

And that road ahead just stretches out

so long, oh so long!

Light a fire

Drink a beer

Sing a song

When I die send my bones to the funeral museum

Behind glass they'll look so sharp the robots will flock to see 'em

When I'm done send my things to the landfill by the road

As for my soul,

As for my soul,

Let it come, let it go

Come let's light a fire

Drink a beer and sing a song

We'll be dead before we know it

Ah, we don't have very long

As the world outside collapses

and confuses right and wrong

Light a fire

Drink a beer

Sing a song
