[Verse 1]
Billboards promise paradise
And tattoos done while you wait
Possible futures all laid out
On the sweeping curve of the interstate
On the sweeping curve of the interstate

[Verse 2]
Got no city, got no land
Got no lover, got no wife
How many ways to say goodbye
Can one man fit in a nomad life?
Can one man fit in a nomad life?

[Chorus]
Life short, call now
Life short, call now
Life short, call now
Life short, call now

[Verse 3]
Lone car waxes, then it wanes
Leaving only voices in the hall
And in the room next-door to mine
The bed is banging on the wall
The bed is banging on the wall
[Verse 4]
You've no idea how I long
For even one loving caress
For you to step into my heart
Without deception or duress
Without deception or duress

[Chorus]
Life short, call now
Life short, call now
Life short, call now
Life short, call now
