It's a good time far bankers and winners and sailors |
|
With their stories of jackpots and islands of pleasure |
|
They keep their treasures locked in |
|
Iron Mountain |
|
Locked in |
|
Iron mountain, |
|
They're sailing through this transitory life. |
|
They're moving through this transitory life. |
|
It takes a |
|
Iong time far a mouse to realize he's in a trap |
|
But once he does, something inside him never stops trembling. |
|
And grandma in the pancake makeup she never wore in life |
|
Lies there in her shiny black coffin looks just like a piano. |
|
She made herself a bed inside my ear. |
|
She made herself a bed inside my ear. |
|
And every night |
|
I hearWe're sailing through this transitory life. |
|
We're moving through this transitory life. |
|
When the doctor says: congratulations, it's a boy! |
|
Where do a |
|
II the dream baby girls, those possible pearls, go? |
|
Lorrine and |
|
Susan with the brown eyes |
|
And lovely |
|
Irene and difficult but beautiful |
|
BettyAnd tiny tiny |
|
Juanita?They're sailing through this transitory life. |
|
They're moving through this transitory life. |
|
Afraid to breathe, afraid to rise |
|
We run and run in this transitory life. |
|
Tipped off balance we fall like |
|
IightWe land on water in this transitory life. |
|
We fall like light on water and water turns to ice. |
|
Everything keeps changing in this transitory life. |
|
Everything keeps changing in this transitory life. |
