Live Out the String Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Maybe life is curious to see what you would do
With the gift of being left alive
How love, how give, spread the higher purpose
And cut through all the shuck and jiveIts only natural, maybe superstitious
To try and find the meaning in beating the odds'Cause sometimes you gotta
(Get down on your knees)
Sometime
(Could you get down on your knees?)
Sometimes baby
(Maybe get down on your knees)

And thank the whole wide universe of Gods for letting youLive out the string a little longer boy
Raise your voice and make a joyful noise
Aint no guarantee of anything
Live out the stringNow that a meteorite has fallen in the chair
You just got out of to answer the phone
Will you live every moment like it just might be the last
Or will you still just bitch and moan?Fate is kind, fate is cruel, fate is terminally cool
Its a random interruption in the middle of your grooveBut sometime
(Wont you get down on your knees?)
Sometime
(Get down on your knees)
Sometimes baby
(Better get down on your knees)
And find yourself a deeper groove, yeahLive out the string a little longer boy
Raise your voice and make a joyful noise
Aint no guarantee of anything
So live out the string, the stringWho knows if we got angels on our shoulders
(Move on)
Right now with the devil in the street
Who knows if it means we got more work to do
But hey baby, dont the air taste sweet?
Hey baby, dont the air taste sweet?
Hey baby, dont the air taste sweet?Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees
Live out the string
Live out the stringGet down on your knees
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees
Get down on your kneesMaybe life is curious to see what you would do
With the gift of being left alive

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Marc Cohn (born July 5, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his song Walking In Memphis (often misattributed to Bruce Springsteen or Michael Bolton) from his self-titled 1991 album Marc Cohn.

According to the Walking In Memphis Songfacts, Cohn was discovered by Carly Simon in the mid-'80s when he was with a 14-piece band called The Supreme Court. Atlantic Records signed him in 1989, but the first attempts to record his debut album with Tracy Chapman 's producer David Kerschenbaum failed. Ten months later, he tried again, producing the set himself with help from the little-known Ben Wisch, who had helped him with his demos. Finally released in 1991 when Cohn was 31 years old, his self-titled debut album was a huge hit, thanks to the massive success of "Walking In Memphis." Cohn won the 1991 Grammy for Best New Artist award, beating out both Boyz II Men and Seal and Seal. Cohn never matched the chart success of this song, but like his musical heroes Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne , he remained a critical and artistic success as a songwriter and performer.

He has issued two other studio albums to date, The Rainy Season (1993) and Burning the Daze (1998), both on Atlantic Records. A self-released live compilation, Live 04-05 (2005), is being sold at concerts on his current tour.

He is the most famous graduate of Beachwood High School in Beachwood, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. He attended Oberlin College.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992 was awarded to Cohn.

Cohn is married to ABC News journalist Elizabeth Vargas whom he met at the 1999 US Open after being introduced by Andre Agassi. Cohn and Vargas have two sons: Zachary Raphael (born on January 31, 2003) and Samuel Wyatt (born on August 16, 2006). Cohn has two other children—Max and Emily—from a previous marriage.

On August 7, 2005, Cohn was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking, following a concert with Suzanne Vega in Denver, Colorado. He was hospitalized and released the next day. The remaining concerts on the tour were cancelled.

Cohn released "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" in June 2006, and his 4th studio album, "Join The Parade", was released on October 9, 2007.
