As white as lily glimmered she
 Like a ships fair ghost upon the sea
 Shame on the man who passes by
 This fallen angel from the sky
 If you realized just who you could be
 You gotta tear it up, and give it up and rip it up
 I'll show you how life should be
 She wipes the tears from her frozen cheek
 Getting strong from her broken dreams
 Vowed right then she would not cry no more
 This goddess rose and dusted down
 Cast her shadow on the ground
 Took my hand and gently smiled at me
 She said let's live it up, I want to start again
 Give it up till I get it done
 Pick it up come on show me how life should be
 Just in the nick of time
 I'm gonna throw you a line
 To lift you up to where you once belonged
 I was blinded by that Mona Lisa smile
 How could I let you go and throw it all away?
 What became of this desert rose
 She grew up strong and so beautiful
 A flower blossoms each and every morn
 In the finest robes of eiderdown
 My sweet lady I will lay you down
 These precious times we love for ever more
 She said lets tear it up I want to rip it up and give it up
 Tear it down don't stop till I get enough
 Live it up in this life when it's getting rough
 Let's live it up I want to start again
 Tear it up till I get it done
 Pick it up come on show me how life could be
 Come on throw me a line, throw me a line come on and throw me a line
 Show me how life could be

Chorus
