It's a Wonderful Life |
Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed |
Once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head |
It’s for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul |
And I’m feeling what I’m feeling what I’m feeling when it’s time to lose |
control, my love |
And once again we’re off to war |
But I can’t agree with what we’re fighting for |
And that’s not all because every time she smiles I see her soul |
And I smile, what a wonderful life |
It’s true I used to try, but then I gave up |
I learned it doesn’t really matter, what I do ain’t enough |
To appease or to please, all my well-meaning deeds |
Seem to all go up in smoke |
And every time I’m looking through these smoke filled skies |
I wonder what she’s doing, why I volunteered to die |
But tonight I will fight for my life |
So I might see my wife again |
I explained to her that I’d be back |
When I gave my word that the fighting wouldn’t last |
But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last |
And I smile, it’s been a wonderful life |
Goddamn, another summer in the city and |
I’ve never seen a girl look so pretty as you |
When you smile, oh, you’re wild, for a while |
I was hoping I might see you again |
I know that everybody’s willing to go |
But I find I’d turned it all and leave on a dime |
If I leave tonight, screw what’s right |
I can make it home by dawn |
And I was told, «boy, prepare for war» |
But they failed to mention what I’d be fighting for |
So I fight for this, the fact that as I pass away I’ll feel her kiss |
And I sigh, what a wonderful life |
Me oh my, what a wonderful life |
Oh, to die for such a wonderful life |
