Don't mean
to rain on your parade
but make that drink a double
and jazz up the funeral a bit
if you LIKE feeling bad
it's your show and if that's the way
you'd like to go
without protest for the pain
do you really,
really...want to?
Maybe so,
but if we imagine how much fun
we were having
before we finally figured out
that we didn't have a clue
to what was going on,
as compared to those
who look at our bad days
as a taste of heaven
we might just realize
that it wasn't so bad
after all, we were the ones
who let it go from bad to worse
our fantasies may have been
a bit overrated
but if we stuck to it
to the bitter end
whose fault is that
kamikaze love
may pay the bills
but selling your soul
is not an option
and before the last dance
take a moment and say a prayer
be thankful to be alive
even though, sometimes life
seems like it really sucks
we still have time
to get it right
before we go
down for the count
at least we can do the mambo
like we had it that way
and knew it
all the
time
