Lyrics
Spend you days just walking and shopping
Spend your days casually strolling and shopping.
Depending on how much you're luck is in
Your luck determines the extent of your spending.
Spend the night-life table-hopping
Engage in nightlife by moving between tables at social events.
And trying to keep that bag of bones in trim
Strive to maintain a slim and healthy physique.
I don't mind not being immortal
Being immortal is not important to the speaker.
'Cause it ain't all that as far as I can tell
Immortality doesn't seem appealing based on the speaker's perspective.
I don't mind not going to heaven
The speaker doesn't mind not going to heaven.
As long as they've got cigarettes
Cigarettes are essential for the speaker's contentment.
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell
The presence of cigarettes is crucial, even in hell.
And by the time we start getting used to it
Over time, people adapt to their circumstances.
The dope that's forming on the windowsill
Reference to drugs accumulating on a windowsill.
Now we know we've got ourselves into
A realization that they are trapped in a monotonous routine.
The cage that keeps the mice on the treadmill
Metaphorically, life is likened to a cage with a treadmill for mice.
