I entered the house,
on the hill one day,
trying my best just to get away,
no one was home,
but the voices where clear,
they let me know,
i was welcome here,
life is so wonderful,
life is so beautiful,
stay a while,
no one gets out alive,
life is so wonderful,
life is so beautiful,
just smile,
no one gets out alive,
i walked the halls,
of that haunted place,
a whisper was leading me,
through the maze,
promising warmth,
knowing my name,
knowing my reasons,
and why i came,
life is so wonderful,
life is so beautiful,
stay a while,
no one gets out alive,
life is so wonderful,
life is so beautiful,
just smile,
no one gets out alive,
a face in a painting,
looked down on me,
smiled at me loving and tenderly,
reaching out her hand,
stroking my hair,
suddenly voices where everywhere,
life is so wonderful,
life is so beautiful,
stay a while,
no one gets out alive,
life is so wonderful,
life is so beautiful,
just smile,
no one gets out alive
