I went out to get some bread this morning
all of a sudden without a single warning
my neighbour thought it's time to spend an hour
talking to me 'bout his garden fowers

I walked the dog rain had started falling
I met this woman and she started talking
bout' this dog disease the name she didn't know
than I went home and drank my coffee real slow

(Chorus):
life ain't nothin' but a merry-go-round
life is like a swimming pool
life is different from a slot machine
you get what you want or you don't

I drove to work like I do everyday
a pedestrian was about to cross my way
I saw him late but in the end
I stopped my car and we became friends

at noon I stopped by in my favourite pub
my favourite soup was steaming in the pot
I ordered one I got it and guess what
I tried it and I think it was too hot

(Chorus)

life is a permanent progression
everyday there are new impressions
life is colorful and amazing
like a slow-motion stock-car racing
