Nothing Lasts (Live - Berkeley, CA, July 14, 1972) Lyrics

[Intro]
This one's called "Nothing Lasts"
And it's gonna be the last tune

[Verse 1]
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
All your thoughts will come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
All the things you think and do
Will become a part of you
All your deeds will come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Refrain]
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
Then will be born once again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
But you know so damn well
That your life is a heaven and a hell
And it's very easy to tell
When you're sick and when you're well

[Refrain]
Like the river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
All the things you think and do
Will become a part of you
All your deeds will come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts

[Outro]
Thank you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
