Only Ever Now - Mechanical Cabaret

Just one more cigarette

And just one more veiled excuse

I need more time to work things out

To prolong my self abuse

I could think about the past

And wonder why and how

But these moments never last

And there’s only ever now…

Only ever now

Give me drink

And give me endless drugs

Let me indulge myself ‘til I collapse

Give me people

Born to suck me

Right into their traps

I could think about the past

And wonder why and how

But these moments never last

And there’s only ever now…

Only ever now

Well I don’t know how long I’ve got

Maybe certain things have passed me by

But I’ll make sure I don’t lose the plot

That I truly live

Before I die
