Gotta Be a Reason

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on EarthGotta be a reason for the dust and the dirtThe changing of the seasons never changed my hurtSo what's it worth? What's it worth?Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of ginAnother drop of poison that is slowly sinking inIf we're going down together, better take another hitWe won't be here forever, so let's make the best of itOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohWalking down to the burial groundWith a sad song in his brainGeneral Cloud is an old man nowBut it feels like yesterdayHe was on the front lines, stranded on the beachCrawling to his best friend, floating in the seaBut he didn't make it, he still can't believeHow arbitrary fate is, he saysThere's gotta be a reason that I'm here on EarthGotta be a reason for the dust and the dirtThe changing of the seasons never changed my hurtSo what's it worth? What's it worth?Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of ginAnother drop of poison that is slowly sinking inIf we're going down together, better take another hitWe won't be here forever, so let's make the best of itOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohShe went down to her job in townWith a sad song in her heart33 with a wasted dream to become a movie starLiving out a suitcase, serving at a barSaving up some pennies, working after darkIs she gonna make it? She still can't believeHow arbitrary fate is, she saysThere's gotta be a reason that I'm here on EarthGotta be a reason for the dust and the dirtThe changing of the seasons never changed my hurtSo what's it worth? What's it worth?Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of ginAnother drop of poison that is slowly sinking inIf we're going down together, better take another hitWe won't be here forever, so let's make the best of itOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohThere's gotta be a reason that I'm here on EarthGotta be a reason for the dust and the dirtThe changing of the seasons never changed my hurtSo what's it worth? What's it worth?Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of ginAnother drop of poison that is slowly sinking inIf we're going down together, better take another hitWe won't be here forever, so let's make the best of itOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, oohOoh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
