It's just a candy colored frown
Tomorrow's not what it used to be
By the way you're living in sin
We were born to die
When the night wind starts to turn
Like angry honey bees
Happy yesterday to all
That is when you'll hear the song
That is when you'll see the sign
But then you ain't got nothing to say
Don't go to sleep tonight
A battle that will always begin
Now it's going on a quarter to nine
When the treetops sing and sway
You were going on at half-past seven
When the headlights guide your way
Not everyone's got lambs to slaughter
Happy yesterday to all
Never entertain those visions
Good luck walks and bullshit flies out
Into the ocean breeze
Truth so often, living dormant
Are you lost or treading water?
We were born to die
Falling from the sky
Sometimes you're filled with the notion
You know the place is right
Here it comes, strawberry sponge
Chasing away the sun
Lest you may have packed your baggage
The afterlife's a moment away
But you've only got a matter of time
You want to tell someone the way that you feel
And you're going on your fifteenth bender
All the angels want to know
And the dew drops sting and burn
A rainbow never smiles or blinks
Now there's never gonna be an intermission
With somebody giving you a piece of advice
Happiness is getting you down
Yes, we've all got seeds to sow
You fight for freedom from devotion
First impressions are cheap auditions
Luminous and high
Situations are long goodbyes
Don't let those precious moments fool you
But there'll always be a closing night
