Excellent Things
[Verse 1]
Mirrors reflect only what we expect
Just what we wanna see
Clothes looking fresh: cotton, rayon, and mesh
Household warm and germ-free

[Chorus]
I filled up a jar with colorful capsules, jewelry, and rings
Notice how we constantly thrive on excellent things

[Verse 2]
Came here to stay, incarnated I sway
Toward material needs
Television hums, busy hand pounds and strums
Two or three knuckles bleed

[Chorus]
Boats and trains and commercial flight airplanes that whistle and sing
See how we persistently thrive on excellent things
