Testi

[Verse 1]
Tell me that the body tells a story
Can you read between the lines?
When you look into my eyes
Do you see a scarry night?
Remember I was dense, made me paint the fence
To work my way into your life
And the public schools tried to ban Mark Twain
When they knew that it wasn't right
[Chorus]
Well, it takes a lot of nerve to live on planet Earth
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the worst
[Verse 2]
Saw you walking up with a basket of fruit in a funeral suit through the door
Paying your respects to the dead insects who have eaten through the apple core
Another habit kicked, one-way road trip
Another Bible in a motel drawer
Ah man, I think I've seen this one before
Some nostalgia you just can't ignore
[Chorus]
And you've got a lot to learn, living on planet Earth
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the worst
It was the worst
[Verse 3]
Shamrock on a jacket, dropped into a casket
Baby, that's no way to die
I never thought I'd see forty-five
How is it that I'm still alive?
In search of that miraculous mystery
Crying on a movie screen
Leaving the harbor with Bas Jan Ader
Sailing out to sea
[Chorus]
It takes a lot of nerve to sail around the world
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
It was the best
It was the best
[Outro]
In Los Angeles
It was the best
In Los Angeles
I want to see out to sea
Out to sea
It was the best
In L.A.
I love her soul
