(from "John Cassavetes' Opening Night (Original West End Live Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
This silly world we're living for
Can disappear in the matter of a minute
Don't get your hopes up anymore
Life is thin
The pyramids are a house of cards
A cathedral a comic-strip novella
The Empire State Building toothpick shards
Life is thin
It's over before ya know it
It's over even before ya blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes I've patiently been waiting for you
And now
You're in
It's over before ya know it
It's over even before ya blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes I've patiently been waiting for you
And now
This silly world we're living for
Can all explode in the heat of the moment
Don't get your hopes up, be a bore
Life is thin
An eyelash bat can be a mortal blow
Flick of an ash a forest fire raging
Upon the lake you see the sparkling snow
But the ice is breaking
This silly world we're living for
Can expire in the fraction of a second
Don't get your hopes up that's for sure
Life is thin
It's over before ya know it
It's over even before ya blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes I've patiently been waiting for you
And now
You're in
Can disappear in the matter of a minute
Don't get your hopes up anymore
Life is thin
The pyramids are a house of cards
A cathedral a comic-strip novella
The Empire State Building toothpick shards
Life is thin
It's over before ya know it
It's over even before ya blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes I've patiently been waiting for you
And now
You're in
It's over before ya know it
It's over even before ya blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes I've patiently been waiting for you
And now
This silly world we're living for
Can all explode in the heat of the moment
Don't get your hopes up, be a bore
Life is thin
An eyelash bat can be a mortal blow
Flick of an ash a forest fire raging
Upon the lake you see the sparkling snow
But the ice is breaking
This silly world we're living for
Can expire in the fraction of a second
Don't get your hopes up that's for sure
Life is thin
It's over before ya know it
It's over even before ya blow it
You're welcome and thanks for coming
Yes I've patiently been waiting for you
And now
You're in
