Stricken by a Storm Lyrics

I've been slipping out of slot
I'm a man that's had the lot
I ate the sacred apple
And now here come the rot
I thought I was immortal
But my youth is on the run
My repertoire of smiles I've used them all and now there's none
They say you've made it when you're still standing at the end
Let's go, let's go, come on straight life has to end
Play safe says the economy

Play safe says my astrology
Play safe, I'm a man stricken by a storm

So I found this new religion
And it cleans my dirty soul
I washed away my problems with my money in the bowl
And the priest he says he loves me
As the icons laugh away
The saints inside the plaster
I'd love to hear their say
They say you've made it when you're still standing at the end
Let's go, let's go, all the straight life has to endPlay safe says the economyPlay safe says my astrologyPlay safe says everybodyI'm a man stricken by a stormI've been stricken by a storm
