Long Short サーカス
M.A.G.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up the kids, kiss your wife
Watch it go by so quick
No time to call in sick
Surprised we don't all go berserk
Sweat it out in the day's sun
Time to reflect, you barely get none
Long day, short life
Wake up the kids, kiss your wife
Watch it all go by so quick
No time to call in sick
Out of it all, What'd you get?
A little time to hedge your bet
Drop dead in a ball of sweat
Work your ass to stay out of debt
What do you have to show?
Goes so quick yet the day is slow
Kids grow up and out the door
Stare at the wall and down at the floor
Long day, short life
Wake up the kids, kiss your wife
Were you free? Were you a slave?
Rush, rush, rush, to the grave
Now you get old and grey
Nobody listens to what you say
It seems as if you're just in the way
Find yourself counting the days
Long day short life...
Hope at least you still have a wife
Finally you've got nothing to prove...
Hope it doesn't hurt just to move
Long day short life
Wake up the kids, kiss your wife
Were you free? You were a slave
Rush, rush, rush, to the grave

I had a woman that loved me true
I was in a loving relationship with a woman who was faithful and devoted to me
To cut a long story short
To summarize the following story or situation
We got married on our honeymoon
We decided to get married while we were on our honeymoon
Now we're together I'm afraid no more
Now that we're together in marriage, I'm no longer content and feel nervous
Like billions of other people we're divorced
Like many other couples, we ended up getting divorced
I don't believe that you can possibly
I don't think that it's possible
Give more than you get
To give more than what you receive
Unless you talk about taxation
The only exception is if you're discussing taxes
And the money that you care to bet
Or the amount of money you're willing to gamble
When I've got a problem I want to solve
Whenever I have a problem that needs solving
I simply go out and have a game of golf
I play a round of golf to clear my mind and contemplate solutions
But I read a book that the book was great
However, I recently read an amazing book
It got a fine class of people like the chambermaid
The book had a diverse cast of characters, including a maid
I don't see how you could possibly
I can't comprehend how anyone could
Take what you can get
Take whatever is available to you
When to get what you take
In order to obtain what you take
And man you really got to sweat
It requires a tremendous amount of effort and dedication
I've got a girlfriend her name is Jill
I'm currently dating a woman named Jill
She doesn't take chances
Jill avoids taking risks
So she takes the pill
She uses contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancy
I'm really positive that she is mine
I'm confident and sure that Jill is my partner
Now I'm getting married for the second time
I've decided to remarry for the second time
I don't see how you could possibly
I can't understand how anyone could
Take what you can get
Accept whatever is offered
When to get what you take
In order to obtain something, you have to work for it
And man you really got to sweat
It takes a lot of time and effort to achieve success
