"The Final Score"
( Lyrics: M. Novak, C. Webster - Music: M. Novak)


It starts when you’re young with a bet or a dare
It elevates your mood and lessens your care
It’s a rite of passage in your younger days
Hoping in 50 yrs your not caught in it’s haze

Next, take a toke and pass it around
A new perspective is often found
A risky business to get that joint
If you do too much you’re gonna miss the point

CHORUS:
The final score - its not a game anymore
The final score - it remembers your before
The final score - you can no longer ignore
The final score - it’s not what you asked for

Rocks hidden in seals white snow within
After a while the thrill wears thin
Line on the mirror but you always need more
Constant need can trigger the trap door

The needles have power to destroy or heal
Your world it will darken and your life it will steal
It’s death grip impossible to release
With your last breath you’ll finally have peace

CHORUS:

The body keeps a tally of the games you’ve played
The minds unaware of the price to be paid
The warnings were many but you chose to ignore
Your invincibility is gone that’s the final score
