Why? (Got that?)
Who, me? (Louder)
Why? (Got that?)
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping that the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on the Friday nights
Can you make it feel like home if I tell you you're mine?
It's like I told you, honey (louder)
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane, so (louder)
Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die
Lost but now I am found
I can see that once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tryna take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey (louder)
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane, so (louder)
Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
We were born to die
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
We were born to die
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
So, don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane, so (louder)
Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
We were born to die
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
We were born to die
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
Why? (Got that?)
Who, me? (Louder)
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
Why? (Got that?)
(We were born to die)
(Louder)
(Got that?)

this song describes perfectly how i feel sometimes, i am scared of death simply because i wont get to be with who i love anymore. but when she says :
'Oh my heart it breaks every step that take but i'm hoping at the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine'
Her heart is breaking because of the fact she knows the older she gets the closer she is to dying, but hoping when she gets the gates of heaven (or hell i dunno) that she will still be with him when his time comes too.
thats my interpretation anyways, and those lines touched me :') lol
I'm sorry, but you brought back a funny moment on TV from back in the late 80's. Dr. Ruth was on televison and made fun of a couple who insisted they each needed to orgasm at the very same time. (She thought they should be content with the simple fact they could please the other:) The odds of such a well-timed feat on que is probably the same as dying at the same time and reaching the pearly gates (much less getting admission at the same time). Not sure what the song is about but it sounds as though the couple is together but expecting to one day part. Perhaps rough times are expected, but who really knows other than the songwriter.
cue UGH
