[Verse]
Life can be good
And we can make it so
Just lick your finger, put it in a little bag
The stuff inside's like salt
Rub it into your young gums
Feel the familiar gut-punch of fun
And watch it blow out the holes in your eyes
The white sun, it's a strobe light

Look around you
They're doing what you do
Drying moistened palms on thighs
Stand in softened shoes
Perpetually weak at the knees
Artificially eager to please
I don't mind if you steal my keys
Long as I can sleep at yours

And then you wake up
A deep and singular misery calls to me
The words it says to me are these

[Chorus]
Oh I'm a shadow, a shell of my former self
But I had a great time last night
I lost all sense of it all but I ain't hitting the wall
If I'm wrong I don't wanna be right
See there's some deficiency in me
Of vitamin E and way out of lines
But I'm a Class A act, don't you know
And you've fallen behind
[Verse]
It comes over you like a soft typhoon
And if you really put your soul into it
You can really feel the moon
It comes in in the rain
And it leaves with a warm wave
It puts you in mind for throwing shapes
Going apeshit at a rave

And then you wake up
That deep and singular misery calls to me
Keeps saying these words to me

[Chorus]
Oh I'm a shadow, a shell of my former self
But I had a great time last night
I lost all sense of it all but I ain't hitting the wall
If I'm wrong I don't wanna be right
See there's some deficiency in me
Of vitamin E and way out of lines
But I'm a Class A act, don't you know

[Verse]
I'm like Epicurus in a torture chamber
Like a man of virtue in a vice
How Croesus feels in a cut-price ghetto
Even then I'm trying to be nice
I didn't come out a womb to boil alive in a dark room
This guy can open his eyes
And I'm sweating like the walls
I outta go outside
[Outro]
Life can be good
Life can be good
