| Send in that sunshine
|
| Make everything right
|
| Turn on your love light
|
| Cause baby I’m coming on by
|
| Send in that sunshine
|
| Make everything right
|
| Cause there ain’t no suffering in life
|
| That don’t ease with the passage of time
|
| If stars died of old age
|
| They wouldn’t explode, they’d burn out with a slow fade
|
| But stars escape life with a gun shot
|
| Which makes me think they stick a pistol in their sun spot
|
| Bite the barrel, squeeze the trigger
|
| Might have cared once, but the obstacles seem bigger
|
| And they’re stuck behind a giant 8 ball
|
| The milky way is star brains that are smeared across the space wall
|
| You know the red giant in sector two?
|
| Yeah, Hector, true, he was a depressing dude
|
| I think he thought nobody thought about him
|
| And now that I think about it, I’m liable to guess it’s true
|
| Everybody wants the sun to come and cure their rough moods but suns need love
|
| too
|
| I give out energy and don’t receive. |
| I’m tired now, I’ll go to sleep
|
| And when this is the coldest solstice, maybe folks’ll notice me
|
| Send in that sunshine
|
| Make everything right
|
| Turn on your love light
|
| Cause baby I’m coming on by
|
| Send in that sunshine
|
| Make everything right
|
| Cause there ain’t no suffering in life
|
| That don’t ease with the passage of time
|
| Goodbye Maggie, Goodbye Jules
|
| I wish you’d stuck around, you wise fools
|
| Cause friends they tend to come and go
|
| The way the ocean ebbs and flows but there’s reminders in the tide pools
|
| But when the standing water’s putrid
|
| Who am I to say a choice you made was stupid?
|
| There’s a bunch of us who loved you
|
| Fucking stuck here pointing fingers at ourselves for something you did
|
| You you you you you packed your problems in a suitcase
|
| You you you went away forever to a new place
|
| You left behind a lot of blue faces and bouquets and loose ends like shoelaces
|
| But my friend, it’s too late
|
| So all my lightweights and barflies, let’s raise a pint each time a star dies
|
| And toast the memory of hard lives
