lyrics

Life Is…

Life is a highway like the 401. It's a game of chicken on the Autobahn. Put a round in the chamber, put your blindfold on. Forget about the brakes. Just give 'er the gun. Life is a highway like the 401.

Life is a trip and it's all uphill. Careful don't slip now Jack and Jill or you'll need a dozen stitches and a handful of pills just to recover from the doctor's bill. Life is a trip and it's all uphill.

Life is like nothin'. It is what it is. It's a damn site better than the alternative. It's a cold hard scrabble. It's the greatest gift. I'm so glad that I exist. I'm so glad that I exist.

Life is a song. It's a funeral dirge down in the boneyard by the burnt out church. You do the Loosey Goosey and the Lunge and the Lurch, dig yourself a hole, shovel in the dirt. Life is a song. It's a funeral dirge.

Life is a breeze like a hurricane. It'll shiver yer timbers and shudder yer frame, whip you one way, spin you 'round again, take all that is dear and blow it all away. Life is a breeze - it's a hurricane.

Life is like nothing. It is what it is. You sally on forth and plead the fifth. It's a silly metaphor that reads like myth. I'm so glad that I exist. I'm so glad that I exist.

It's a velvet glove on a granite fist. It's a mime show featuring a ventriloquist. It's a huge iceberg concealed by mist and the band plays on as we go down with the ship. It doesn't get any better than this, so come a little closer and give me a kiss.

Life is like nothin'. It is what it is. It's a damn site better than the alternative. It's a cold hard scrabble. It's the greatest gift. I'm so glad that I exist. And I'm so glad that you exist. Hell, I'm so glad we all exist. Life is exactly what it is.
