You’ve got to keep moving or you’ll seize and rust
Soon enough you’ll face the day that you turn to dust
I’ve walked across the deserts, found both shame and pride
Travelled with both Jesus and the devil by my side


Oh, oh, keep moving on
Time dances naked, lighter than a ghost
While death waits on the hillside,
Dressed in a long black coat


Some men mine a mountain, some men mine their souls
Some men dig for diamonds, some men dig for coals
Some men think the answer’s nothing but a dream
Well nothing’s but a point of view, nothing’s what it seems


The cards are shuffled then they’re dealt, that’s the way it goes
Put your money on the table: only the Lady knows,
Every mother’s daughter, and every father’s son
Play your cards as best you can, keep moving on



Oh, oh, keep moving on
Time dances naked, lighter than a ghost
While death waits on the hillside,
Dressed in a long black coat
