Lifes A Gas by T-Rex
I could have loved you girl Like a planet
I could have chained your heart To a star
But it really doesn't matter at all
No it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas, I hope it's gonna last
I could have built a house On the ocean
I could have placed your love In the sky
I could have turned you Into a priestess
I could have burned Your fate in the sand
