I keep laughing   Through the tears I cry   No way life is getting to me   We're all out there   Gotta live and die   No one's above it   May as well love it      Face the music   This is your time to dance   Let your life roll on   When they hit you   Just get up   And go another round      Oh baby, don't you know   I know the lowdown?   Everything that's going up   Must go down   Speed it up or slow down   Life's a merry-go-round   Ride it high   'Cause we all hit the ground      I had money   And it all slipped away   Guess I didn't really, really need it   I can make it   Living day to day   Don't look for answers   Follow the dancers      Face the music   'Cause they're playing your tune   Let the night roll on   Take it from me   'Cause I've been the long   Long way around      Baby, don't you know   I know the lowdown?   Everything that's going up   Must go down   Speed it up or slow down   Life's a merry-go-round   Ride it high   'Cause we all hit the ground      Baby, don't you know   I know the lowdown?   Everything that's going up   Must go down   Speed it up or slow down   Life's a merry-go-round   Ride it high   'Cause we all hit the ground
