Elaine

A young girl walks down the street lost and confused, she finds a woman, sitting on a bench, feeding the birds as they fly by

She sits down beside the woman, and she tells her all her worries and fears

She looks at the girl with tears in her eyes, and she says these words

Elaine, that’s life, get over it

Well the young girl’s now a teen with new problems and complications

She seeks out the woman this time with more lines on her face

She looks into the woman's eyes, expresses difficulties in her life, the woman just smiles and repeats those same old words

Elaine, that’s life, get over it. Elaine, that’s life, get over it.

Well the young girl’s now old looking back on her pointless life

She still cries every night to suppress her fright

The woman’s now departed, fallen cold from a sickness, she was unfulfilled in life

She passed that fear down to her daughter Elaine who will die just the very same

Elaine, that’s life, get over it

Elaine, that’s life, get over it

Elaine, that’s life, get over it

Get over it

Get over it

Get over it
