This Dreadful Life

Kay Hanley


Oh the simple days in a haze 
out on peaceful seas 
and you shook me out of my dungarees 
and its true 
it's not a lie 
how time does fly 
especially in good company 
elevated by the view 
and i got myself so terribly unglued 
by the simple days 
i'm amazed despite my strategies 
that there can't be many days like these 
so gimme everything 
this dreadful life has got to adore 
they said i had enough 
but now i think i really need some more 
because i like the sound 
of my feet hitting the ground 
don't be so afraid 
you got it made 
you're only 25 but johnny black and humboldt 
green made it worth the drive 
and it's not a lie because it's true 
youth is wasted on youth 
especially when you let it pass you by 
elevated by the view 
get me up and out cause i'm totally confused 
everybody gets so wrapped around the variables 
but i was never very good at math at all 
still everybody gets so wrapped around them 
and i guess that i would too 
but i'm not in the mood 
gimme everything this dreadful life.......
